Copeland joined the show today alongside Boys and Girls Clubs’ Youth of the Year Josias Reynoso to talk about the impact the program has had on their lives. Copeland joined the Boys & Girls Clubs at 11. “It has given me an understanding of what it means to be a leader” Copeland said. Josias Reynoso was chosen from more than 4 million club members to become the Boys & Girls Clubs Youth of the Year.
