Student volunteer awards starting

September 15, 2014 By Northwest Asian Weekly

The annual search for outstanding youth volunteers has begun. Prudential Spirit of Community Awards kicks off its 20th year looking for youth between grades 5-12 that have dedicated their time to volunteering. The students are honored on a local, state and national level with national winners receiving gold medallions, $5,000, trophies for their schools, and a $5,000 grant to donate to a charity of their choice. Over the past 19 years, more than 100,000 students have been recognized by Prudential’s awards.

Students can apply online at http://spirit.prudential.com by Nov. 4. Applications must be submitted to a principal, Girl Scout council, county 4-H agent, YMCA or HandsOn Network affiliate, or an American Red Cross Chapter.

Local organizations and participating schools will select honorees on a local level in early November and present the students with a certificate. All local winners will be evaluated to be chosen for the state level. Two students from the state level will travel to Washington, DC on May 2-5, 2015 to have a chance to win the national level prize. (end)
