There were 12 finalists for the award, all of whom received a Volunteer of the Month Award in 2023. Aaidyn was awarded Volunteer of the Month in July for her work and leadership with the younger children. A representative for The Boys & Girls Club said, “Aaidyn loves the kids, and they love her!” This summer will be her third as a volunteer.
