Youth of the Year: Celebrating Leadership, Resilience, and the Power of Belonging
By ASteffen February 27, 2026
Black History Month is a time to honor the achievements, leadership, and enduring impact of Black Americans while reflecting on the work that continues to move our communities forward. It is a celebration of culture, resilience, innovation, and excellence that has shaped our nation in profound ways. At the Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford, this recognition is deeply connected to our mission. Many of the youth and families we serve see their own stories reflected in the legacy of Black leaders and change makers. Creating spaces where young people feel seen, valued, and empowered is central to who we are.
