Announcing our 2026 Youth of the Year: Olivia Beliard!

We are excited to announce our 2026 Boys & Girls Club of Stamford Youth of the Year: Olivia Beliard!

As a sophomore at Stamford High School, Olivia has earned a place on the honor roll with a 4.0 GPA, all while making her mark as a leader both at school and at the Club.

When she first became a member 11 years ago, Olivia was a quiet observer. Over time, she has grown to become an influential force in Club life. She is deeply involved in the Club’s Keystone leadership program and is a dedicated member of the UpNext Junior Staff. She captained our BGCS Majorette Dance Team (following in the footsteps of her sister and coach, Dasha) and plays varsity basketball for Stamford High.

Olivia leads by example, supporting her peers, volunteering her time and talents, and uplifting everyone around her. In Olivia’s own words: “What matters to me most is creating spaces where people feel supported, valued, and empowered just as I do at the Boys & Girls Club.”

Congratulations to Olivia on being named the 2026 Youth of the Year! We look forward to seeing what you accomplish in the future.
