Bold, inquisitive, savvy, and fun — these are just a few of the words that describe kids who think of the Off The Street Club as their home away from home. The Off The Street Club kids are special because by choosing to attend the Off The Street Club, and to abide by its rules and regulations, they've chosen to follow a different path — and in their neighborhood, a harder path. Gangs, drugs and other antisocial activities lure many West Side kids, but the Off The Street Club offers those kids who want a better life another way.

Every year it gets harder and harder to choose the “Boy and Girl of the Year” from the many outstanding members of the Club. This year though, Edward Clayton Jr. and Genesis Deeds rose above the pack! Congratulations Edward and Genesis!
