Introducing our 2026 Youth of the Year Warren Labine! Warren was selected to compete for the Oregon State Youth of Year on March 13th at the Albany Boys & Girls Club. He and seven other teens from Boys & Girls Clubs throughout Oregon, had to submit intensive applications, answer questions from a panel of judges and give a 3-minute speech. As you can see from the video of his speech, Warren made us all very proud! Congratulations to Mia Curtis from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Salem, Marion & Polk Counties on being selected to represent the state at the Pacific Region competition later this year. Youth of the Year is the highest honor a Boys & Girls Club kid can receive. Each year the Youth of the Year program has recognizes young people for their outstanding leadership, service, academic excellence, and dedication to health and wellbeing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZP1_1MKUgM #AmericaNeedsClubKids #GreatFutures #YouthOfTheYearPhotos from Boys & Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon's post
