NOW TAKING APPLICATIONS FOR 2011-2012 YES AWARDS! |

Youth Embracing Service Program
It is a proven fact that young people who routinely engage in the types of activities that encourage service to others, are less likely to be involved in risky behaviors. Today’s youth has the energy, imagination and tools to reach out and help their peers, families and their own neighborhoods – and it doesn’t necessarily require money to do so. It requires a genuine desire to put others’ needs ahead of their own. Quota International, MS Gulf Coast wants to foster and encourage that sense of caring.
If you know a school age child (1st thru 12th Grade) in Harrison, Jackson or Hancock County, who has performed an unselfish act of service, please nominate them for this recognition. Nominations will be reviewed by our YES Board of Educators, Counselors and Service Volunteers.
Each month, an outstanding youth will be recognized at their school, club or church, with a $50 cash award and a "YES" medal of achievement.
At the end of the school year, all children who receive this award, will be invited to a special function in their honor, and one nominee will be named YES honoree of the year, and receive a $500 Cash Award for a project of their choice. |
