2023 Youth of the Year: Dante Mosier-Tidd

Dante, a three-year Club member, was recognized as our 2023 Youth of the Year for demonstrating great leadership skills in his role as Vice President of the Keystone Club, his dedication to his educational success, his positive attitude in mentoring our younger youth and his effort in being a good friend to his peers. Dante aims to obtain a degree in Psychology and become a therapist. He eventually wants to write his own book! “These [Club] experiences helped me stay strong through school by giving me something to look forward to, as well as helped me create friendships and learn what I could do within the Club.” We look forward to continue helping Dante achieve personal, academic and professional success in his remaining years of high school and at the Club. In the Spring, Dante will move on to compete in the Northern California Youth of the Year Competition.
