Cardinal Stritch senior Olivia Ford of Point Place was named Youth of the Year with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Toledo. Olivia started volunteering with the organization in her freshman year. "I fell in love with just everything about the Boys and Girls Club right away," she said.
"I realized that when working with the kids, I could really be myself around them, and I discovered a real passion for working with younger kids," she added.
Olivia began her journey with the Boys and Girls Club, working with young children by playing games, running events, and helping with schoolwork. "A few months later, I was invited to apply for a position as a member of the Teen Employment Corps as a junior staff member, where I mentor younger members and assist adult staff with implementing youth programs."
