Outstanding teens from our Clubs compete for scholarship awards and the opportunity to advance to regional and national levels of the competition. Held at Embassy Suites in Monterey Bay, this inspiring evening features a welcoming reception, powerful speeches from our youth, and the announcement of the Monterey County Youth of the Year.

Join us for a night that honors courage, celebrates achievement, and uplifts the next generation of leaders.
