Prudential Spirit of Community Awards
September 01, 2010
The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program is the United
States' largest youth recognition program based exclusively on
volunteer community service. The program was created in 1995 by
Prudential in partnership with the National Association of
Secondary School Principals (NASSP) to honor middle level and high
school students for outstanding service to others at the local,
state, and national level.
The program's goals are to applaud young people who already are
making a positive difference in their towns and neighborhoods, and
to inspire others to think about how they might contribute to their
communities. Over the past 15 years, more than 280,000 young
Americans have participated in the program, and more than
90,000 of them have been officially recognized for their volunteer
work.
