Story County Youth Volunteer Award nominations being accepted

In celebration of National Volunteer Week and Global Youth Service Day, the Volunteer Center of Story County and Iowa State University Student Activities Center invite you to join us in recognizing the volunteer efforts of young people in Story County. Nominations will be accepted until March 31, 2009. An awards program and reception will be held on Tuesday, April 28, 2009, in the Campanile Room of Iowa State University’s Memorial Union.

Why is it important to recognize the volunteer service of Story County youth? Public recognition says “Thank You!” to those who have contributed in important ways to the community. It tells young people we appreciate them and encourages them to take leadership roles in Iowa in the future. Also, praise inspires imitation. Friends join with friends to volunteer, and many people can be affected by the example of one individual. In addition, these awards can help youth excel in their future educational and workplace endeavors. Many colleges look for community service in prospective students, and many businesses welcome employees who demonstrate community leadership.

Please nominate an individual or group you know in Story County under the age of 25 for their outstanding volunteer service in one of the following categories:

• Elementary school student or group
• Middle school student or group
• High school student or group
• College student or group
• Community volunteer or group

Award recipients will be notified by April 15 and invited to an awards program to honor their outstanding volunteer work. They will receive an award signed by Gov. Chet Culver. They also will be featured in local media stories.

Nomination form is available at: www.vcstory.org

Questions can be directed to: Shellie Orngard (Executive Director, Volunteer Center of Story County) 515-268-5323, shellie.orngard@vcstory.org or Jennifer Garrett (Coordinator of Leadership and Service, Iowa State Student Activities Center) garrett1@iastate.edu, 515-294-4354
