“I want to advocate for positive change in every environment I’m in,” – Haley, Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica's 2025 Youth of the Year. Haley has been a Club member for ten years! Today, we’re excited to introduce this driven and passionate 11th grader as our 2025 Youth of the Year! During her time at Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica, she’s grown into a confident leader, a dedicated advocate, and someone who’s always looking to make a difference in her community. Club membership has encouraged her to try new things, solve problems, and confidently face any challenge. At school, Haley takes her leadership to the next level as a Student Board Member, where she represents the student body and partners with Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District leadership on key issues like improving school safety and updating campus facilities. She's passionate about sustainability, climate action, and cancer research—but that doesn't stop her from getting involved whenever she sees a problem that needs to be solved.
