- From the Youth Leader Program, Kids Konnected picks one participant who has gone above and beyond to help youth affected by a parent’s cancer know they are not alone. The Youth Leader of the Year is named at our annual holiday party and awarded a $500 enrichment scholarship. This year the winner was Jaylen!
