Boys and Girls Club of Marshfield Announces 2023 Youth of the Year

Finn O’Gara

MARSHFIELD, MA… Finn O’Gara, a senior at Marshfield High School, has been named the  Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield’s 2023 Youth of the Year.  
 
“Youth of the Year” is the highest honor bestowed upon Boys & Girls Club members. A Youth of the Year candidate embodies the Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s three priority outcome areas of Academic Success, Good Character and living a Healthy Lifestyle. The National Youth of the Year serves as a role model and spokesperson for America’s youth. They educate millions of Americans about the power of the Club Experience and elevate the national focus on key issues facing children and teens.  
 
“We were very impressed with all of our Youth of the Year finalists and recognize their dedication, efforts and leadership,” said Jim Bunnell, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield. 
 
This year, the Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield had 10 individuals nominated for Youth of the Year. Of those 10, seven accepted their nomination and six wrote anonymous essays on how the Club has impacted them. The leadership team determined four finalists based on those essays: Matt Roosevelt, Caitlin Scully and Finn O’Gara of Marshfield and Mike O’Malley of Duxbury. The finalists were interviewed by a panel of community and board members including Jeanine Smith, Mike Vercollone, Peter Brown and John Wilpers. The panel had the difficult decision of determining the 2023 Youth of the Year. Based on many factors and with much deliberation, they unanimously selected O’Gara. 
 
O’Gara has been working at the Boys and Girls Club since 2021 in both the After School program as After School Staff and in the Summer Camp program as Camp Counselor. He also works at the Club as an evening and weekend Front Desk Attendant for birthday and Clubhouse party option rentals. 
 
In the fall, O’Gara will be attending Bridgewater State University and majoring in Special Education. 
 
The National Youth of the Year is purpose-driven and aware of the challenges facing young people today. Under the direction of Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) staff, O’Gara along with other Youth of the Year representatives will attend state, regional and national events. They will serve as thought leaders on key issues by telling their inspiring personal stories. Potential audiences include youth, alumni, members of the media, and political, corporate and community leaders.  
 
“Finn is a terrific role model with outstanding leadership ability,” said Bunnell. “We’re pleased to honor Finn as the Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield’s 2023 Youth of the Year and we wish him every success in the future.” 
 
About Youth of the Year Program 
For more than 70 years, the Boys & Girls Club Youth of the Year program has honored and celebrated the nation’s most inspiring teens and their incredible journeys. Stories of outstanding leadership, service, academic excellence and dedication to living a healthy lifestyle have made Youth of the Year America’s premier leadership and recognition program for teens.

Marshfield 5th Grade Dance is a “device-free” event at Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield on March 10th

MARSHFIELD, MA… Back by popular demand, the Marshfield 5th Grade Dance will be held on Friday, March 10, 2023 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield at 37 Proprietors Drive. 
 
With the assistance of Friends of the 5th Grade, the Boys & Girls Club is hosting a night of music, fun and dancing. Tickets for the Marshfield 5th Grade Dance must be purchased in advance as space is limited.  
 
The cost is $15.00 for entrance and a snack and tickets may be purchased at https://www.eventbrite.com/o/boys-and-girls-club-of-marshfield-55079867923
 
The Club held its first dance in January, and it was well attended by 195 Marshfield fifth graders. The high attendance rate is significant because the 5th Grade Dance is a “device-free” event. Cell phones and devices are not allowed among the young attendees or staff and volunteers.  
 
“Nowadays, kids are entrenched in their phones and devices,” said Jim Bunnell, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield.  
 
Among the findings of a Boys & Girls Clubs of America survey of teenage financial literacy, over 75 percent of teens have a cell phone. 
 
Bunnell continued, “As a society as a whole, there has been growing concern over the hyper focus on cell phones instead of the friend or family member sitting next to them. Kids are losing those communication soft skills and important connections. In my opinion, devices distract from growing socially and interpersonal interaction.” 
 
The Club tested this theory when they eliminated distracting devices at the first dance. 
 
Bunnell added, “We had 195 fifth graders dancing, playing games, talking and having fun. Instead of focusing on their devices—gaming, checking social media and communicating only by text– they were communicating face-to-face. They’re fully engaged in the moment, which makes for a more fun and memorable event.” 
 
The Club will continue to hold more events like these which encourage interpersonal interaction.  
 
Another plus? The dance brings together fifth-graders from all five of Marshfield’s elementary schools, enabling them to meet (and potentially make new friends) in preparation for sixth grade when they will all attend the same school. 
 
Bunnell noted, “We’re not trying to eliminate phones and devices. It’s more about providing fun times and meaningful experiences. It’s about bringing the kids back together socially.” 
 
For questions regarding the dance, email the Club at membership@bgcmarshfield.org.

Hot Shots Mixes Dance, Art, and Music with Soccer in New Creativity Club for Girls. Program begins Jan. 22

MARSHFIELD, MA… South Shore parents and their daughters ages 2-7 will learn how to dance, sing, play instruments, draw, paint, do Irish Step Dancing, and play soccer on 10 Sunday mornings this winter as part of a new Hot Shots “Creativity Club” program at the Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield.

The Creativity Club will run for 10 Sunday mornings from January 22 through March 26, 2023 at the Boys & Girls Club, 37 Proprietors Drive in Marshfield. The sessions are held at 9, 10, and 11 a.m. and are open to all girls ages 2-7 on the South Shore. 

Each of the Creativity Club’s 10 weeks will have a special theme with the full hour dedicated to either art, dance, music or soccer. And on the Sunday before St. Patrick’s Day, the girls will learn Irish Step Dancing.

The instructors are all artists, dancers, or musicians with years of experience working with very young children at some of the very best Boston-area arts organizations: the South Shore Conservatory in Hingham and Duxbury, The South Shore Arts Center in Cohasset, and the Pembroke School of Performing Arts.

Incorporating the arts will be another way to achieve the Hot Shots five-part mission of having fun while building the girls’ self-esteem, parental bonds, skill sets, and love of reading (Hot Shots holds a story time every week and sends the girls home with five books every Sunday). 

“Over the last 26 years, thousands of parents and their daughters have had so much fun playing soccer with one another that we thought it would be even more fun to add dance, art, and music this winter,” said John Wilpers, founder and director of Hot Shots Soccer for Girls, a program of the Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield. 

“Instead of the typical youth program experience where the grown-ups are just taxi drivers and observers at a distance, we have 100 percent parent participation,” Wilpers said. “The moms, dads, and caregivers do everything with their daughters. This winter, they will dance, paint, make music, and play soccer together. As a result, they will have tons of fun and build special memories and strong bonds with their daughters.”

Parents and caregivers of the nearly 5,000 girls who have graduated Hot Shots over the last 26 years love what the experience has meant for their girls and themselves.

“The impact Hot Shots has had on my daughter is astounding,” said Meaghan Segalla. “She is very shy by nature, and Hot Shots has helped her come out of her shell. She has become confident in her soccer and artistic abilities. She is proud of what she’s accomplished and believes in herself more than ever.”

The fee is $195 (need-based scholarships and reduced rates are available). Registration is online at https://www.bgcmarshfield.org/hot-shots-create
