About WA State Youth of the Year
Washington State Youth of the Year is three days filled with events designed to provide educational and inspirational experiences for our finalists!
We’ll kick off the event in Olympia on Tuesday, March 24th and gather at the Governor’s Mansion for an evening reception. On Wednesday morning, youth and their mentors will head to a local Club for breakfast. Teens then will engage with some of the corporate HR leaders in the area to learn about interview techniques. Afterwards, everyone will travel north so the teens can partake in speech prep at another local Club. For fun, the youth will get to experience a limo ride and tour the neighborhoods of Seattle, enjoying a tasty treat at Kerry Park and take photos.
On Thursday, March 26th, Club members will arrive at Bell Harbor International Event Center for speeches and interviews in front of a panel of esteemed judges. The winners will be announced at the dinner that will be attended by Club leaders, youth mentors and their families as well as Youth of the Year corporate sponsors. Each finalist will have the opportunity to share their personal story with the Celebration audience. Some finalists will even be recognized with merit scholarships.
Thank you to our presenting sponsor:
