Youth of the Year Ceremony Recognition: Congratulations Yasna Talle!

On January 24, 2025, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Capistrano Valley held their Annual Youth of the Year ceremony, where they recognized outstanding youth under the three pillars of their organization: Academic Success, Health & Life Skills, and Character & Leadership. They also honored members in the overall Youth of the Year category, who embody what it means to be a Boys & Girls Club kid.

They are excited to announce that Yasna Talle won the Kindness Award for the 16-18 age group. Yasna has been a dedicated member of the Club for many years, and this year marks her final year with them as she prepares to graduate. Winning an award in any of these categories is a prestigious honor, selected by their full-time directors and youth development professionals, and Yasna’s recognition for her kindness is truly well-deserved.

Please join us in congratulating Yasna on this incredible achievement!
