Texas Junior Chamber Presents: Five Outstanding Young Texans (FOYT)

Please join us for the annual Five Outstanding Young Texans (FOYT) Awards Ceremony hosted by the Texas Junior Chamber. The FOYT program annually honors five outstanding people between 18 and 41 years of age who "exemplify the best attributes of the nation’s young people."

The Texas Junior Chamber awards each honoree a trophy, a certificate of achievement and a commemorative FOYT lapel pin. The awards ceremony dramatizes each winner's career in a narrative form and provides a stage for the honorees to challenge and inspire America's youth.

FOYT is also part of the international program Ten Outstanding Young Persons (TOYP), held annually at the Junior Chamber International (JCI) World Congress. Winners of FOYT also have the opportunity to be named one of the Ten Outstanding Young Americans (TOYA) at the national level.
