On August 8, 2024, Taylor R., a rising high school senior and active participant at the Naval Support Activity Bahrain Youth Center, was named the National Military Youth of the Year ✨

Over six years, Taylor has become a key contributor to his Boys and Girls Club-affiliated youth center, helping to coach football, basketball, and soccer leagues, revitalizing their Keystone Club, and participating in the Teen Employment Program. He has also maintained a 4.15 GPA and logged over 215 hours of community service in the past year 🌟

Taylor attributes much of his growth as a leader to his involvement with the Boys and Girls Club.

“From first to eleventh grade I have spent time with caring staff that prepared me to become the confident, forward-thinking leader that I am today. From a very young age, I learned the importance of hard work, respect, setting an example for others and leading my peers.” he expressed.

He highlights his diverse experiences at Boys and Girls Club-affiliated centers during his childhood when reflecting on his inclusive outlook towards others. “I believe that recognizing and celebrating our differences empowers us to reach our full potential as individuals and as a generation.” Taylor remarked.

At the state and regional stages of the Military Youth of the Year program, Taylor received $22,500 in college scholarships. During the National Military Youth of the Year event in Washington, D.C., he earned an additional $20,000 scholarship, bringing his total to $42,500. After graduating high school, he intends to attend Brigham Young University-Idaho to study engineering, music, and education 📚
