From June 10–13, six outstanding students from our community traveled to Washington, D.C. to receive the prestigious Gold Congressional Award Medal, the highest honor Congress bestows upon youth. As part of the national ceremony, students had the opportunity to meet and network with Senators, Congress members, and fellow awardees from across the country, while also exploring the capital and celebrating their hard-earned achievements.
Out of 156 medals awarded nationwide, 35 were from California, and 6 of those students came from our BAYCC community—a remarkable accomplishment that reflects their dedication to personal development, service, and leadership. We are incredibly proud of their success and the inspiration they bring to our broader community.
