Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale 2025-26 Youth of the Year

Daniela found the Hartley & Ruth Barker Boys & Girls Club eleven years ago, at a moment when stability mattered most. What began as a safe place after school became the foundation where she learned to trust herself, find her voice, and believe in what she could become. Her story is about choosing resilience and discovering that strength is built through service and confidence that grows when you help those around you rise. For Daniela, the Club became the place where her character formed, her goals took shape, and her sense of purpose came into focus.
