A junior at T.F. Riggs High School in Pierre will represent South Dakota in the Boys & Girls Clubs of America Midwest Youth of the Year competition in June.
Today, in part one of a two part series, Xoe Murphy first talks about when she first began going to the Boys & Girls Club of the Capital Area when she was five years old.
After participating in Club activities when she was younger, Murphy knew she eventually wanted to work there.
At the Club, Murphy works with 2nd and 3rd graders and enjoys seeing the progress the kids make as the year goes along. She shared the story of one particular student.
But, Murphy said, building a relationship with that student took time.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of America Midwest Youth of the Year Regional competition will be held in Chicago June 25, 2026. According to their website, the Midwest Region for the Youth of the Year contest typically includes youth leaders from Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
