Youth In Service Guidelines & Forms
On Wednesday, April 17, 2019, Birmingham Youth Assistance and the Birmingham Optimists will host our 9th Annual Youth in Service Appreciation event honoring area students nominated for their outstanding volunteer service. This event is an opportunity to honor our young citizens who give of their time and talents to serving this community. In particular, we would like to recognize students who have performed exceptional service to others despite having to overcome significant challenges or hardships in their lives.
If you wish to nominate a young person, please review the guidelines to determine whether his or her service to the community fits the criteria. You may nominate more than one person. Please fill out the nomination form. Each youth you nominate is asked to complete a short three-question form to accompany your nomination and to provide a photo of him/herself.
When completing your form, please include factors that might differentiate your nominee from others. This will help our committee select a particularly outstanding high school nominee to receive the Jane Parker Ward Award scholarship. The more detail included in your nomination, the better.
We recognize that making a nomination is time-consuming. However, please remember that, without your input, a deserving young person may be overlooked. We believe a little recognition can make a big difference. Your cooperation is essential to the success of this program.
The Youth in Service review committee requires this information by March 8, 2019. Please get the nomination forms to us as soon as possible. If you need any further information, please call the Birmingham Youth Assistance office at (248) 203-4300.
We at Birmingham Youth Assistance and the Birmingham Optimists appreciate your time and support.
