Within our Snohomish County community there are hundreds of young citizens achieving personal success beyond academics and athletics.

Help the Youth Challenge Awards Committee recognize the outstanding youth whose contributions usually do not make the headlines but probably should.

Within your organization or in your day-to-day life you know the volunteers, leaders, and inspirational young people this program is looking for. Take a few moments to nominate that exceptional youth(s) for one of the following categories: community service, courage, creativity, environmental service, inspiration, leadership or group award.

Nominate a 7-12th grade Snohomish County youth today. Download a nomination brochure or complete the online nomination form at www.youthchallengeawards.com. Nomination deadline is March 31, 2011. The Youth Challenge Awards are presented by the Lynnwood Rotary Club.
