Camila S., a member of the True Value Club, took home the night’s top honor of Youth of the Year for her leadership, service, and academic standing. Among those in attendance was Mayor Lightfoot, who congratulated Camila and five other YOY finalists for their remarkable work and service to youth in their neighborhoods.
