Young Citizenship Award

Exchange’s Young Cit­i­zen­ship Award hon­ors pre-high school stu­dents who daily demon­strate good cit­i­zen­ship both at school and at home. It does not nec­es­sar­ily seek to salute star scholas­tic or ath­letic per­form­ers. Instead, the pro­gram is designed to rec­og­nize and encour­age young­sters who are hon­est, hard-working, help­ful and fair. In prac­tice, the Young Cit­i­zen­ship Award pro­vides class­room teach­ers with an effec­tive tool to fur­ther moti­vate promis­ing students.
 
Pur­pose:
The pur­pose of the Young Cit­i­zen­ship Award is to find and reward those stu­dents who work hard at being good cit­i­zens at home, at school, and in the com­mu­nity. They don’t shirk when there’s a job to be done. They coop­er­ate with teach­ers and par­ents. They’re not nec­es­sar­ily at the top of their class, star ath­letes, or musi­cal or artis­tic vir­tu­osos. Still, they’re stu­dents you would be proud to have as sons or daughters.
