Youth Advisory Council C.A.R.E. Award

The Youth Advisory Council (YAC) will offer a $5,000 annual grant to award an area teacher who incorporates community involvement and charitable action into their classroom.

Anyone can nominate a teacher who fits the criteria for this award. The teacher will then work with their school to designate how the money will be used. They can choose to benefit their school facility, classroom, students, programming or special projects.

The goal of this award is to honor a special teacher who contributes to their community by nurturing charitable giving and community spirit in their students. Students of today will be the leaders of tomorrow. As non-profit organizations will continually fill the gap for much needed human services, current youths must recognize their role of charitable giving and volunteerism as a crucial resource to economic stability for their future society.
