Boehner Honors Youth of the Year at Boys and Girls Club Event

Press Release

Speaker Boehner congratulated six Boys and Girls Club of America Youth of the Year recipients at a Congressional breakfast last week. The Youth of the Year title is the highest honor a Club member can achieve. The recognition puts a spotlight on youth who have overcome great odds to achieve their goals. As a man of humble beginnings, mopping floors and waiting tables at his dad's bar, Speaker Boehner is an avid supporter of his local Boys and Girls Club in West Chester, Ohio, as well as the organization's mission:

"Everyone in this room is here because we were given a chance to achieve the American Dream. Now we have to make sure we pass that same chance on to ALL of our children -- no matter where they're from. That's why I've gotten involved in the Boys & Girls Club in my town."
