Garden City Teen Wins Idaho Youth Of The Year

How cool is this?

Steeve Biondolillo, a teen from right here in the Treasure Valley, has been named “Idaho Youth of the Year” in Boys and Girls Clubs of America’s National Youth of the Year program & will now be representing all Idaho youth when he competes at Pacific Youth of the Year on May 4th against youth from states across the Pacific west.

Originally from Haiti, Steeve and his brother were adopted by a loving family here in Idaho, who signed them up at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada County, where he has been a member for 8 years.

Steeve was awarded $3,000 in scholarship funds for being named Ada County Youth of the Year. As Idaho Youth of the Year, he’s going to receive an additional $8,500 & if he wins the title of Pacific Youth of the Year on May 4th, he will receive $20,000 more in college funds and move on to compete against five other regional youth from across the country for the title of “National Youth of the Year.”

We’re pulling for you, Steeve – show em what you’ve got!
