Boys & Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley in collaboration with ServiceNow

MILPITAS, Calif. - March 6, 2023 - PRLog -- The Boys & Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley (BGCSV) is excited to announce a collaboration with digital workflow company ServiceNow to host outstanding members of the Boys & Girls Clubs (who represent Clubs and BGCA-affiliated Youth Centers on military bases from across Northern California) for the Northern California Intra-State Youth of the Year (YOY) competition.

For more than a century, Boys & Girls Clubs have played a vital role in helping transform the lives of millions of young people across this country through positive interactions with caring adults and potentially life-enhancing programs. The Youth of the Year program has been Boys & Girls Clubs of America's premier recognition program, offers these promising Club members an opportunity to hone their leadership skills, make valuable connections, and gain access to more than $1 million in scholarship funds. Becoming National Youth of the Year is an exciting and inspiring journey. Starting at the local level, Clubs who have a Youth of the Year program select a Youth of the Year candidate to represent their organization at their state YOY event. State YOY candidates advance to regional YOY events, culminating with the National Youth of the Year Celebration which features finalists from each of the five regions, as well as the National Military Youth of the Year.

"We really appreciate ServiceNow for hosting this important event. Youth of the Year is an amazing opportunity to celebrate some extraordinary young people," said BGCSV Chief Development Officer Machelle Locsin. "We are thrilled to send one such member to compete in the state, regional, and perhaps even the national (YOY) competition."

The event will be held Thursday, March 9 from 7:30am-3pm at ServiceNow in Santa Clara. ServiceNow has generously provided BGCSV the location, as well as food and drinks.

"We're happy to host the BGCSV for the annual Youth of the Year event," said Angelina Herrera, vice president, global diversity, equity, and inclusion at ServiceNow. "ServiceNow is committed to advancing diversity, equity, inclusion both within our own organization and within the broader community to contribute to a world that is more caring, fair, and just. Programs like Boys & Girls Clubs align to this mission, and we're thrilled to be able to provide a safe space where people can learn, connect, and grow."
