This year we received 16 Youth of the Year nominations and every one of these young adults embodies the Youth Solutions values of leadership, collaboration and a solutions-focused mindset. They’ve pushed through tough times and stayed focused on their goals. The committee had a very hard time selecting the Youth of the Year winners. In light of the additional barriers brought on by the pandemic, the committee decided to recognize every nominee this year. Here are the 13 youth who received Exemplary Youth of the Year.
