Congratulations to Daylin Heredia! 🎉 We are thrilled to have her as our 2023 Youth of the Year, crowned at our circus-themed celebration this past Saturday. This event honors exceptional teens for their remarkable achievements in leadership, service, and academic excellence.
“Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito has provided me with so many opportunities that wouldn’t have been offered to me otherwise. I could join sports, leadership programs, Smart Girls, and more. Being an active member of the Club has shaped me into the best person I can be, and at such a young age. The Club has brought me into a new chapter of my life and has set me down a path that I didn’t know existed. My life has changed forever.”
Come one, come all! Step right up for the greatest show on turf as we celebrate our outstanding Youth of the Year nominees.
Dress for the evening in business casual/tommy bahama style, as we celebrate our youth under the stars!

Youth of the Year Celebration 2022
Congratulations to Kyra Dominguez!
Age 15 – Harper Teen Center, Solana Beach
Sponsored by Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito Foundation
Congratulations to Kyra Dominguez, who was crowned our 2022 overall Youth of the Year. Our 2022 Youth of the Year (YOY) Celebration and fundraiser on Saturday, August 6th at the Del Mar Racetrack was huge a success!
Over 200 people got Mad as a Hatter, raising just over $150,000 while basking in the sun, watching the races up close and enjoying entertainment from aerialists, jugglers, hula hoopers and a DJ.
The event culminated in the crowning of our 2022 Overall Youth of the Year while shining a light on what we are all about: the positive development of youth.
Make a Difference
Founded in 1966, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito is the longest-serving youth nonprofit in the San Dieguito community, with no child turned away due to their family’s financial situation. Our programs focus on three main outcomes: Good Character & Citizenship, Academic Success, and Healthy Lifestyles. We level the playing field through activities in our core program areas: the Arts; Character & Leadership Development; Education & Career Development; Health & Life Skills; Sports, Fitness & Recreation; and Technology.
Our 7 Clubhouses and 7 specialty programs throughout Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Encinitas, & Solana Beach served more than 4,600 youth members and impact over 10,600 San Diego youth in 2022. Last year, we award over $385,000 in financial assistance through our after-school & specialty programs, (Aquatics/Rancho San Dieguito Swim Team, Athletics/BIG 8 Middle School Sports, Bulldogs Basketball, Carmel Valley Montessori School, Centers For a Healthy Lifestyle, Summer Adventure Camps and Youth Arts Academy), to ensure all local youth can have the foundation for a GREAT FUTURE.
