What is the Youth of the Year Award?
The City of El Cajon Teen Coalition presents a “Youth of the Year” Award to recognize those who go above and beyond in serving their community, either through their leadership abilities and/or their qualities, or level of community service in El Cajon. This can be defined as individuals who consistently facilitate a team vision and help guide others towards success. Community service helps better the community through the value and impact of those served. Final awards will be based on dedication, commitment beyond what may be required by school, and a demonstrated impact on the community.
Who is Eligible?
Two youth will be awarded each year: one youth currently at the middle school level (grades 6 – 8) and one youth currently at the high school level (grades 9 – 12). All nominations are reserved for youth who are residents of the City of El Cajon. Youth will be recognized and awarded for service accomplished within the calendar year previous to the nomination period. We are currently awarding work that has been accomplished between January 1 and December 31, 2016.
Applications are available at the Recreation Department at 200 Civic Center Way, City of El Cajon Recreation Centers, and on the El Cajon Recreation Department’s website at www.elcajonrec.org.
