We would like to officially announce Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta’s 2020-2021 Youth of the Year. It was a tough competition and all 14 candidates made us so proud, but one rose to the top.

Congratulations to Melissa “Nila” Smith from the A.W. Tony Matthews Boys & Girls Club!

This award is Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta’s highest honor, recognizing teens from our Clubs who are working hard, investing in themselves, and demonstrating leadership in their schools, communities, Clubs and career pursuits.

Because of supporters like you, we are able to offer programs at our Clubs that build character and leadership skills that kids can use for years to come. THANK YOU!
