2026/27 Youth of the Year Application Open
Each year, the BGCNWC honors eight outstanding teens as our Youth of the Year (YOY). This prestigious recognition celebrates young people who embody the Club’s values and demonstrate leadership, service, academic success, and strong character. The Youth of the Year is a role model for peers and younger members, an ambassador for the Club, and a positive voice in our community.
The competition is a life-changing experience that gives participants the opportunity to build confidence, develop public speaking skills, and prepare for future success. One winner will represent BGCNWC at the Colorado State Youth of the Year Competition.
The winner will also receive the prestigious Jim Dodd Memorial Scholarship and speak at our largest fundraiser, the Be Great Bash. Please complete this Google Form, along with your resume and the requested essay, by October 23. Your essay and resume should be emailed directly to . The committee will decide on the eight finalists by October 30th.
