Youth of The Month/Year

One of the most pop­u­lar Exchange youth projects, the Youth of the Month/Year Award rec­og­nizes hard-working high school stu­dents who attain high lev­els of scholas­tic achieve­ment, com­mu­nity involve­ment and lead­er­ship. This proven pro­gram not only rewards out­stand­ing young peo­ple, but also pro­vides an incen­tive for other young­sters to strive for equally high lev­els of achieve­ment. Once a Youth of the Month pro­gram has been suc­cess­fully imple­mented, the ground­work for con­duct­ing an annual Youth of the Year com­pe­ti­tion is already in place. Selec­tion of the Youth of the Year is sim­ply made from the club’s Youth of the Month recip­i­ents for that school year. The club’s Youth of the Year advances to dis­trict com­pe­ti­tion, and ulti­mately, an oppor­tu­nity to vie for the pres­ti­gious National Youth of the Year Award.
