Local educators and youth-serving professionals are encouraged to nominate a young person they work with for the 2025 Youth Appreciation Awards offered by Alliance for Community Transformations (ACT).
The Youth Appreciation Awards recognize Bennington-area youth for their leadership, kindness, and efforts to make the community a healthier place. For example, nominees may be lending a hand to family members, younger youth, or neighbors in need; making a difference through activism; using their creativity to beautify a school or neighborhood, or demonstrating determination and resilience in overcoming life challenges.
One winner will be honored in the following grades: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-11, and a senior award. Youth nominees must be current students in the Southwest Vermont Supervisory Union geographic area. Private and home-schooled students are welcome. Nominees cannot nominate themselves or be nominated by a family member.
Nominations are due by Monday, May 5, and can be submitted online at actbennington.org/youth-awards.
