Youth of the Year
Jade Williams, a senior at Carroll High School has been selected as Boys & Girls Club of Ozark’s Youth of the Year. Jade will be competing in the 2012 Alabama Youth of the Year Competition hosted by the Boys & Girls Club of South Alabama in Mobile March 28th thru 30th of March. Being named Youth of the Year is the highest honor a Boys & Girls Club member can receive. Youth will be attending from all over the state to compete for scholarships and the title of Alabama’s 2012 Youth of the Year. The title recognizes outstanding contributions to a member’s family, school, community and Boys & Girls Club, as well as personal challenges and obstacles overcome. This program was founded over 60 years ago through the generosity of the Reader’s Digest Foundation. Youth that win at the state competition, will compete for the title of Regional Youth of the Year and an additional $10,000 scholarship. The five regional winners will advance to Washington, D.C., in September 2012, to compete for the title of BGCA’s National Youth of the Year. The National Youth of the Year receives an additional $15,000 college scholarship and is installed by the President in an Oval Office ceremony. This year’s celebration will offer a combination of educational and entertaining activities designed especially for those youth ages 14 years and older that will be competing.
To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

GREAT FUTURES START HERE.
Mrs. Amy Phillips, Executive Assistant of the Boys & Girls Club of Ozark-Southeast Alabama was named Administrative Staff of the Year, Southeast Region at the regional Leadership Conference in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina this past March.
We couldn't be prouder of Amy for bringing honor on our club by providing caring, devoted service to every child, every day. We are not surprised that she has been recognized at the regional level, something not often accomplished by club staff even at the state and regional level.
