Gabriel Santini, a proud member of the Teen Center at Variety Boys & Girls Club of Queens, was recently honored at Borough President Donovan Richards' 1st Annual Youth Empowerment Awards at Queens Borough Hall.

Gabriel continues to represent what leadership, excellence, and dedication look like—both in and out of the Club. This recognition reflects the impact he is making every day and the standard he sets for his peers.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate this moment with Gabriel. The future is bright—and it's moments like these that remind us why this work matters.
