Do Something Adds New Category to BRICK Awards for Young Community Leaders
Deadline: November 1, 2004

A program of Do Something (<a href="http://dosomething.org/">http://dosomething.org/</a>), the BRICK Awards were created to recognize and financially support outstanding young people, to create a network of young community leaders across the United States, and to inspire other young people to become active in their communities.

The program honors and funds the efforts of dynamic young leaders who have devised and implemented innovative solutions to problems in their local communities in the areas of community building, health, and the environment.

For this year’s program, Do Something has added a new category to the BRICK Awards for community leaders age 19-25. In addition to the six winners in the "18 and under" category who will each receive a $5,000 higher education scholarship and a $5,000 grant for continued community work, there will now be three winners between the ages of 19 and 25 who will each receive a $10,000 grant. All winners receive engraved bricks, pro bono services, and other support and recognition.

Applicants must be 25 years old or younger on April 14, 2005 to be eligible.
