April 28, 2025
Say hello to Elohim, our incredible Youth of the Year candidate from Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley – Walter P. Taylor Club! As we continue our special blog series highlighting each of our amazing candidates, we’re excited to follow Elohim’s journey. Youth of the Year is about more than just an award—it’s about leadership, growth, and becoming a strong voice for the Club and the community. Let’s see what Elohim is discovering along the way!
- What was the most memorable part of your journey as your Club’s Youth of the Year?
Getting to experience this opportunity. - How has this experience helped you grow as a leader and a communicator?
By getting rid of my stage fright. - What message did you want to share in your speech, and why was it important to you?
That “youth of the year” isn’t just a title. It’s a privilege and that’s very important. - How has your Club supported you on this journey, and what does it mean to you to represent them?
They have pushed me to strive higher and to never give up. - What advice would you give to future Youth of the Year candidates who want to follow in your footsteps
?
The work lead can be challenging but always remember to never give up and strive for the stars.
