Youth of the
Month/Year Award
One of the most popular of
Exchange's youth projects, the Youth of the Month/Year Award
recognizes industrious high school students who attain high levels
of scholastic achievement, community involvement and leadership.
This proven program not only rewards outstanding young people, but
also provides an incentive for other youngsters to strive for
equally high levels of achievement.
Cooperation from school authorities and youth leaders is easily
attainable. As a result of the favorable publicity which the program
often generates, the sponsoring Exchange Club enhances its own
community image.
Once a Youth of the Month program has been successfully
implemented, the groundwork for conducting an annual Youth of the
Year competition is already in place. Selection of the Youth of the
Year is simply made from among the club's Youth of the Month
recipients for that school year.
Then, the club's Youth of the Year advances to district competition,
and ultimately, an opportunity to vie for the prestigious National
Youth of the Year Award. Specially designed plaques and
certificates, along with a detailed Youth of the Month/Year
information guide and application, can be obtained from National
Headquarters.
