The program's goals are to applaud young people who already are making a positive difference in their towns and neighborhoods, and to inspire others to think about how they might contribute to their communities.

● Girl Scout councils● County 4-H organizations● American Red Cross chapters● YMCAs● Affiliates of HandsOn Network

Through these schools and local organizations, students are encouraged to complete an online application by November 8.

Local Honorees are selected at participating schools and organizations in November. From these winners, an independent judging organization names the top middle level and high school volunteer in each state and Washington, D.C. Results are announced in early February. Then, 10 National Honorees are chosen by a panel of prominent public figures, and announced at a special ceremony in Washington, D.C., in May.

Who is eligible?Any young person who:

______________________________________________________________________________Unidad Latina 2017 Scholarship

The scholarship fund is seeking to award college-bound high school seniors who are NY State residents, graduating this spring, and matriculating to four-year colleges. Scholarship sponsors have asked CUNY, and College Now, to spread the word about the scholarship in specific congressional districts throughout the city. Scholarship recipients will receive a one-year scholarship of $2,500. The two target recruitment areas in NYC encompass Senate Districts 22 and 23 which cover parts of south-eastern Brooklyn and north-western Staten Island. It’s preferable that students reside in these districts, but it’s not required. For reference, these are the high schools from these areas understanding that NYC students travel widely and do not always attend school in their neighborhoods. In Staten Island:· Curtis High School· Michael J. Petrides High School· Ralph McKee Vocational High School· Port Richmond High School· Concord High School· New Dorp High School· Staten Island Technical High School In Brooklyn:· Urban Assembly School for Criminal Justice· Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School· Fort Hamilton High School· Brooklyn Studio Secondary School· Lafayette High School· New Utrecht High School· High School of Sports Management· International High School at Lafayette· Life Academy High School for Film and Music· Expeditionary Learning School
