The 2nd Annual BrooklineHub.com Youth Awards was a night with many highlights including a performance by flamenco guitarist, Juanito Pascual, an inspiring speech by Joe Kennedy III and a surprise video appearance by Theo Epstein with a message of support for his brother Paul and the Brookline Teen Center.   Most memorable were the stories of Brookline teens making an impact on the world around them.  From the sixteen Youth Award and twenty Recognition Award winners, BHS student, Catherine Marris, was named as 2012 Youth of the Year.

Come see the stories of these amazing teens at the Coolidge Corner Theatre, Thursday, May 3rd at 7pm.  The BrooklineHub.com Youth Awards are open to the public, and admission is free. 

The program for the 2nd Annual BrooklineHub.com Youth Awards is quickly coming together with many exciting developments. It has been confirmed that  Joe Kennedy III will join the event as a guest speaker.

As a society we often dismiss teens as moody, hormonal and thousand other stereotypes. What the Nomination Committe and I personally have learned, however, is that these young adults are a very loud reminder of what could be.

"The generousity and committment of our sponsors has been inspiring and very exciting, " comments BrooklineHub.com Publisher, Harvey Bravman. "Their donations enable us to help support ongoing efforts to build the much-needed Teen Center and formally recognize the contributions of teens in a community-centered evening."
