Meet Marlee: Youth of the Year for Michael A. Grant Boys & Girls Club

Club membership: Joined in 2021

Post-Secondary/Career Interest: My plan is to go to college to get a degree in nursing.

How has your Club supported your goals for college, post-secondary education, and career? They supported my goals by doing activities like making vision boards, searching up colleges, and studying jobs that I would be interested in.

Why is it important for the youth to use their voice in today’s society? It is important for the youth to use their voice in today’s society because we are the future. As a youth in today’s society I can use my voice to impact others by using leadership that I have learned at the Club.

Short Bio: Marlee is a 12-year-old who credits Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta with helping her achieve a goal of becoming the president of National Beta Club. The Club helped her achieve this goal by teaching her how to be a better leader to my peers.
