Do you have an exceptional student volunteer at your library?
The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards is a nationwide program that honors young people in grades five to 12 who are volunteering in their communities.
Youth who have engaged in a volunteer activity that occurred during the 12 months prior to the date of application are eligible to apply.
Local Honorees are selected in November and from those winners two State Honorees (one middle level school student and one high school student) are chosen in each state and the District of Columbia. State Honorees receive an award of $1,000 and an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, DC, for national recognition events.
Ten National Honorees are then selected to receive an additional award of $5,000, as well as a $5,000 grant for a nonprofit organization of their choice.
The application deadline is November 3, 2015. Visit the website for application and information.
