Introducing Rima, the Indiana State Youth of the Year and the Midwest Regional Youth of the Year!

Rima concluded her speech with:

“As I stand here today, I'm deeply honored to be considered for the Boys and Girls Club Midwest Youth of the Year. This recognition isn't just about me; it's a celebration of the Club's commitment to nurturing resilient, caring, and responsible young leaders who will shape our future. I can give people like me opportunities. I can be the difference. And I can create an environment for others to succeed."
