Youth of the Year
Youth of the Year is the highest honor a Club member can receive. But it’s more than just a scholarship program, it’s a chance for youth- – in partnership with mentors – to develop skills they can use in college applications, admissions interviews, job interviews and beyond. Each nominee is awarded a scholarship and the winner takes home the Youth of the Year title and a $10,000 scholarship.
The Club helps youth get ready to join the workforce by providing paid staff positions for youth aged 16 – 18. Under the guidance of caring adult mentors, staff receive help with building positive work ethics, customer service skills, life skills, college prep and career planning.
The Counselor in Training (CIT) program gives 8th and 9th graders the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working with children in age 6-3rd grade. Participants build resilience, develop positive mentoring skills, engage in meaningful community service, and have fun while earning their first paycheck.

Your Time and Talent Can Change Lives
Are you interested in working or volunteering with the Craig Club?
I was an extremely shy child, and the Club helped me find my voice. Over time, I gained confidence through the relationships I built and the encouragement I received from staff and peers. Now, I try to do the same for quiet kids at the Club who might otherwise go unnoticed, making sure they feel seen and supported. I especially love working in the gym, where I get to watch kids build confidence, friendships, and teamwork skills through the many games we play together. One particularly hard day, everything felt lighter the moment I walked through the Club’s front door and the youngest members screamed my name and ran toward me for a group hug. That moment reminded me how important the Club is—not just for the kids, but for me too. The Club is where I always feel safe, welcomed, and like I truly belong. I am currently a junior and am leaning toward a future career in medicine.
Sam
Senior Yampa Valley High School
Joined Club: 4th Grade
I moved to Steamboat as a quiet, shy fourth grader, and my first day at the Club was hard because it was loud and chaotic. I soon made friends and found mentors in the staff who made me feel seen, and one staff member even taught me how to skateboard, encouraging me to try something new. Now, as a junior staff member, I try to do the same by helping kids try new things and showing them how to be calm and patient through gym games, conversations, and everyday moments—pausing, breathing, and responding thoughtfully. These are lessons I learned at the Club and practice with kids every day. I loved being part of the Club because as a high schooler it gave me something to do every day after school. In the future, I’m not totally sure what path I want to take, but my interests include mechanics, food service, and music.
Jordan
Steamboat Springs High School Senior
Joined Club: 1st grade
I first entered the Club as a shy child and now as a junior staff member I strive to make every member feel at home. I love teaching art, beadwork, and crafts inspiring kids to try new things without fear. Often, I see pieces of my own siblings in the children I mentor. I have three younger siblings who live far away so in a way when I connect with the kids I feel like I am connecting with them or visa versa. This year as a senior I am balancing a heavy academic schedule with many duel enrollment classes while working at the Club. I have learned through this and my life experiences to be resilient and focused at the tasks at hand. Though my future is not set in stone I know wherever I go I will bring the kindness and patience I have learned from the Club both as a member and now as a staff.
Barbara
Steamboat Springs High School Junior
Joined Club: Kindergarten
As a junior staff I have loved helping the kids learn skills from tying shoes to multiplication and making paper airplanes. During my time at the Club I have watched the Club grow, now offering more opportunities, diverse programs, and bilingual support. My proudest moment was a child saying he felt safe with me. I always felt safe with the staff so this was what I had been aiming for. In middle school I stepped away from the Club and I am so happy I have found my way back, the Club is one of my happiest places. I am only a junior and have not yet narrowed my future path yet but I know it will involve helping children.
