Luna Trejo-Lugo, a senior at North Henderson High School, has been named Youth of the Year at the Boys & Girls Club of Henderson County, the youth club announced.

Luna has been a club member for 12 years, growing from a young child exploring after-school activities to a confident leader in programs like Keystone Leadership, RISE workforce development and student ambassador.

Known for her dedication to helping others, Luna has mentored younger members, organized community service events, and led her peers with resilience and heart. Her journey reflects the Club’s mission to develop mind, body and soul in every member.

Luna’s achievement is supported by her mentor, club Operations Director Carlos Vega, and recognized by Youth of the Year judges Ed Arnold, former School Board Chair Blair Craven and Fletcher Mayor Preston Blakely. She will receive a $1,500 scholarship, thanks to Hunter Subaru and Publix, and will compete at the North Carolina State Youth of the Year Competition next month, with the chance to advance regionally and nationally for the prestigious $25,000 renewable scholarship.
