Boys & Girls Club of the Wausau Area 2021 Youth of the Year

The Boys & Girls Club of the Wausau Area is pleased to announce Malya Reed, a junior at D.C. Everest Senior High, as our 2021 Youth of the Year. Malya was selected through a rigorous application and interview process spanning several weeks and involving a number of community partners. Our local Boys & Girls Club Youth of the Year is presented by Wisconsin Chevy Dealers and Kocourek Automotive.


Malya has been a Member since she was in 6th grade and currently works at the Club as a youth development specialist. Giving back to her community is important to Malya and is evident in her current and long-standing activities - including over 10 years of volunteering to lead arts and craft projects for kids in our community.


"I want to be able to help youth in our area feel heard and know they can accomplish anything they put their mind to," Malya said. "I think my story can help others feel as though they have someone they can relate to. I think I can help others understand that any barrier you face in life is one you can overcome." Malya plans to attend college to study psychology and pursue a career in counseling.


"Malya is a strong young woman with drive and passion," said Boys & Girls Club of the Wausau Area CareerLaunch Director Carol Pond. "She has faced personal hurdles and challenges that she doesn't see as barriers but rather stepping stones on the path to her future."


Malya will compete to be named Wisconsin’s Youth of the Year in March. The winner will go onto the Midwest competition and compete to move on to the national stage. The National Youth of the Year serves as both an exemplary ambassador for Boys & Girls Club youth and as a strong voice for all of our nation’s young people. Under the direction of BGCA staff, the National Youth of the Year will attend regional and national events, and serve as a leader on key issues, by inspiring people with their personal story and helping others to replicate the success they've realized in their young life.


Youth of the Year honorees at any level – local, state, regional and national – are examples and living proof that GREAT FUTURES START HERE – at the Boys & Girls Club.

I recently checked this game and found the interface fairly comfortable to explore. The different sections are arranged clearly, which can make it easier for beginners to understand what is available. Before participating, users should read the relevant rules and conditions carefully. It is also important to recognize that outcomes can vary and are never guaranteed. Players should maintain a fixed budget, avoid chasing losses, and take breaks when needed.

I like the focus on protecting the home rather than simply fixing visible problems. That approach is valuable for anyone researching Roofing Services In Goshen and thinking about long-term property maintenance.

Mold issues can sometimes develop after a leak, flood, or other moisture problem that was not fully resolved. That connection makes it important to consider the source of the moisture as well as the visible affected area. Homeowners seeking professional assistance can research Mold Restoration In Spring Valley, CA to better understand the importance of thorough restoration.
