Alex Nickel represented the Boys & Girls Club of Moody County in December as a 2022 Jr. Youth of the Year contestant. Alex competed amongst his Boys & Girls Club of Brookings peers, Finn Bartlett and Makhia Wilson, who all completed interviews with a panel of judges and prepared essays and a speech for the event.
Youth of the Year is a Boys & Girls Clubs of America program that recognizes and celebrates outstanding youth in each community’s Boys & Girls Club. The program encourages Club members to showcase how they been involved with the Club and how it has impacted them. Participating in the competition takes time and effort, and winning the organization’s Youth of the Year title is the highest honor a Club member can receive.
