PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. -- The Boys & Girls Club’s Youth of the Month program encourages good citizenship and civic responsibility. Adult mentoring and guidance reinforce the disciplines needed for a life of public service.
Each month, staff selects a Youth of the Month who demonstrates exemplary character and often serve as leaders to their peers. The Youth of the Months for March of the 2011-2012 school year are Jada Thomas, Emily Mills, and Zainay Akanbi.
Jada is an eight-year-old member of our General Heiser Branch in Dumfries. Jada has been the Power Hour Homework participation winner for the last few months; she is always helpful and courteous. Outside the Club she enjoys participating gymnastics and cheerleading.Â
