REAGAN GANJON

Though she is only in 7th grade, Reagan possesses an uncommon ability to bring people together. Most notably, she has brought her talents to the Boys & Girls Club of Carroll County, where she was named 2024–2025 Junior Youth of the Year. At the club, she founded its first Entrepreneurship Club, recruiting local business leaders to help teach the youth about running a business. Her team went on to develop Creative Teens, a student-run business that produces and sells candy at local markets and fairs with the profits reinvested back into the Boys & Girls Club. This fall, she is taking the concept countywide, mentoring students at other Club sites on entrepreneurship. She also started the first Boys & Girls Club of Carroll County field hockey clinic, and is a peer mentor at her middle school.

“What sets Reagan apart is not only what she has accomplished, but how she approaches every challenge with optimism, discipline, and a clear sense of purpose.” —Erin Bishop, Boys & Girls Clubs of Carroll County
