As a symbol of recognition for making great strides in a challenging time, the staff of the Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Homes nominate a resident from each of their campuses. These young people have overcome their personal battles and even developed into being role models for others. The staff members note that being selected as “Youth of the Year” is a great honor and marks those that have shown the most improvement in behavior, academics, and in overall life. Taylor, Tony, Marcus and Karen were honored at the Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Homes Dinner and were each given the opportunity to share their individual speeches.
