Nelianna upon receiving her Youth of the Year award, presented to her by Erick Ramirez, Director of Teen Impact, and Keagan Marcella, Teen Program Coordinator
We are proud to announce Nelianna as West End House’s 2025 Youth of the Year! The highest honor awarded to a club member, the Youth of the Year program is the “signature leadership development effort” for Boys & Girls Clubs of America and is designed to foster a new generation of leaders around the country. Local Clubs, including West End House, select their Youth of the Year from a pool of nominees, and the winner has the opportunity to represent the club at regional and even national levels!
Nelianna, a senior at Boston Green Academy, was selected based on the leadership qualities she has developed in her 10-plus years here at West End House. She makes great relationships with staff and youth alike and has become a role model for many of her peers. Next up for Nelianna is the statewide selection process taking place next month at Gillette Stadium. We are so proud of Nelianna and are excited to be a part of her leadership journey!
