NASHUA â The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua will host a competition in which one teen member will be named the local Youth of the Year.
The finalists are Sylvia Gitonga, Hector Collazo and DaShawna Bourgault.
The newly named Youth of the Year will go on to compete against other Boys & Girls Clubs members across New Hampshire for the state title and a $1,000 college scholarship from Tupperware Brands Corp. State winners move on to vie for one of five regional winners across the country, and ultimately those five winners will contend for the title of National Youth of the Year.
Being named Youth of the Year is the highest honor a Boys & Girls Club member can receive. As Boys & Girls Clubs of Americaâs premier youth recognition program, the Youth of the Year title recognizes outstanding contributions to a memberâs family, school, community and Boys & Girls Club, as well as personal challenges and obstacles overcome.
As the national program sponsor, Tupperware Brands awards each state winner a $1,000 college scholarship and each regional winner a $10,000 scholarship. The national winner receives an additional scholarship up to $50,000 from The Rick and Susan Goings Foundation.![]()
