YOUTH ALLIANCE SERVICE AWARDS SEEK NOMINATIONS
 
The Fox Cities Youth Alliance is celebrating the positive impact our youth have on the community by sponsoring the 22nd Annual Celebration of Youth Alliance Awards. This program, in celebration with the National Youth Service Day, recognizes youth and youth groups who have performed outstanding volunteer service in the community.

Nomination forms are available by calling the Volunteer Center at 920-832-9360 or by emailing info@volunteercenter.net. They are also available on the website: http://volunteercenter.net/youth-alliance-awards.html. All individuals and organizations throughout the Fox Valley area are encouraged to nominate youth and youth groups who have demonstrated a commitment to helping others and have positively impacted the lives of others during the period from January 1, 2014 to March 15, 2015. The nominees must be in grades 1 through 12 and the volunteer service provided must benefit the greater Fox Valley region. The nomination deadline is Friday, March 20, 2015.

Winners will be announced at the award ceremony on Wednesday, April 22 at a luncheon at Liberty Hall in Kimberly, WI. The awards seek to recognize the spirit of volunteerism as found in the future leaders of our community and to encourage young people and adults to take hold of that same spirit in their own lives.  

The Youth Alliance Awards are sponsored by Capital Credit Union, BOLDT, Cellcom and the Volunteer Center of East Central WI.
