Prudential Spirit of Community Awards

October 2001 - Do you know a young person working to make their community a better place to live? The Prudential Insurance Company of America and the National Association of Secondary School Principals are looking to honor many of this country’s outstanding youth volunteers through the seventh annual Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. The program honors outstanding community service by young people in grades 5-12.

Students must submit completed applications by Oct. 31, 2001. Application forms for the awards program will be available over the next two months in middle schools and high schools, Girl Scout councils, and county 4-H offices. They may also be obtained via the Internet at: http://www.prudential.com/community/spirit or by calling 1-888-450-9961.

The top two candidates from each state – one middle school student and one high school student – will receive $1,000, engraved silver medallions and an all-expenses paid trip to Washington D.C. in May 2002. Runners-up will receive bronze medallions or Certificates of Excellence.
