In October, Gwinnett County resident Twilla Walton joined an elite group when she was among 10 young people in the metro area honored by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta with the prestigious Youth of the Year award.

Walton, a senior at Brookwood High School and a member of the Lawrenceville Boys & Girls Club, was recognized at the inaugural Livestream 2020 Youth of the Year Experience, which featured speeches from top teen leaders and community backers and live entertainment.
