Rylee Mueller was named the 2025 Boys & Girls Clubs of Bartlesville and Dewey Youth of the Year during an exciting luncheon Friday.

Rylee is an eight-year Club member who says she is inspired by the staff and experiences that helped her grow confident and service-driven.

From leadership programs to helping in the kitchen, Rylee says the Club fueled her passion for supporting others. She hopes to go to college and one day run a restaurant.
