Local News: United Way youth awards open to nominations
Get in the Way Awards honour Toronto’s young community leaders
TORONTO, April 6, 2006 – Toronto youth are taking the city by storm with their energy and drive to help others. United Way of Greater Toronto is calling for nominations of young community leaders for its annual Get in the Way Awards, presented to youth for their outstanding contributions to the community.
“Toronto youth are doing extraordinary things to improve their communities,” said Frances Lankin, President and CEO, United Way of Greater Toronto. “These awards will recognize some of the city’s dynamic young leaders who are dedicated to strengthening neighbourhoods and building a better city.”
Four awards will be presented: two for elementary school students aged 13 and under, and two for secondary school students between 14 and 18 years old. Winners will receive a cash bursary - $250 for elementary and $500 for secondary - and a personalized commemorative trophy.
Candidates must reside in Toronto, and will be judged on:
Amount of time given to a charitable organization
Type of activities engaged in or initiated
Demonstrated leadership skills
The impact they have had in their community
The deadline for nominations is May 12, 2006. Further information, including guidelines and nomination forms, can be found at www.unitedwaytoronto.com.
