Youth of the Year 2026
“Club is where I learned to branch out and meet new people. Club is where I found my passion for dance. Club is where I learned that a little push can go a long way.”
Ariana, 2026 Boys and Girls Club Rochester
2026 Rochester Youth of the Year
Our Club proudly hosted our annual Youth of the Year competition, one of the most meaningful programs we offer to our teens. This special event gives young people the opportunity to share their stories, reflect on their growth, and step into leadership roles with confidence.
We were honored to have the outstanding winner this year: Arianna. She spoke beautifully about the importance of courage and consideration, sharing how these values have shaped who they are and how they show up for others. Her poise, thoughtfulness, and passion made it clear just how bright her future is.
We are thrilled to congratulate Arianna, who competed at the state level. We are so proud of her dedication and hard work, and we can’t wait to see where this journey takes her next.
