Youth Spotlight
Faces of the Future
Amara and 2016 Youth of the Year Finalist, Unique Woodson

Amara A. 
Age 9 - Aberdeen Club

Amara has been a wonderful addition to Boys & Girls Clubs of Harford County. She is known for her positive attitude and for always being willing to help.

Over the last four years that Amara has been part of the Club she has shown improvement in academics, making honor roll for the last two quarters, but also in her attitude towards her peers. During these formative years she has worked hard to step away from the crowd and become an individual. Other Club members have noted that she is intentional about staying out of gossip.

"Staying at the Club helps me stay out of trouble. I learn to work together with my friends and to speak up for myself ... The Club gives me a safe place with my friends, away from the danger around my neighborhood." -Amara, Age 9
