2015 Youth of the Year, Tiana Felix

A long-time Club kid (11 years!), Tiana Felix exemplifies the qualities we strive to instill in our youth. She is our 2015 Youth of the Year, as well as the runner-up to State Youth of the Year. After graduating from Worcester Technical High School in 2015, Tiana was accepted into the prestigious nursing program at Quinsigamond Community College.  As one third of a set of triplets, Tiana has overcome hard obstacles to get where she is now. Despite struggles beyond her control, Tiana persevered thanks to the strength and determination she developed at the Club: “I’m not sure I would be where I am today, going to college and working in daycare, if it wasn’t for the Club staff and the WPD gang unit who have always supported my goals and have been there for me when I’ve made mistakes. I’m lucky to have so much support around me. I know I won’t fail.”
