Do you know someone who does exceptional things for young people?
It might be a teacher,
volunteer, youth minister, or custodian. Or maybe a business, youth program
leader, coach, foster parent, Scout leader or child advocate?
The Arlington Partnership for
Children, Youth and Families invites you to nominate exceptional people,
groups, or businesses for one of two Champion awards:
-
Connect
With Kids, who build supportive
relationships with young people OR
-
Do For Kids, who provide opportunities, experiences or support to
youth and children.
We are pleased to add a NEW
award: Do For Kids Champions. These would be individuals, teams
or businesses who have supported young people through opportunities,
experiences, or support that allows children and youth to learn and grow.
Visit
our website for more information and to NOMINATE a CHAMPION!
Nominations are being
accepted now through February 20, 2018.
