The Harris Wofford Award

Pay tribute to individuals that best exemplify the spirit of service by nominating them for the Harris Wofford Awards. The Awards carry significant prestige as it recognizes one of our nation’s greatest public servants. Established in April 2002, the Harris Wofford Awards recognize extraordinary achievements of an Individual, Institution, and Media organization or member that actively contributes to "Making service and service-learning the common expectation and common experience of every young person in America".

When nominating a nominee think about funders, donors, partners, board members, youth advocates, and members of the media who have improved the public’s opinion of youth.

Youth Service America is proud to announce the availability of the new Media award category. We recognize that in order to encourage and mobilize the energy, commitment, idealism and experience of young people through their community contributions, we must work through the media to heighten awareness of the positive role of young people in our society.

Award Finalist will be honored and presented with a commemorative award of recognition at the 15th Annual National Service-Learning Conference, March 17-19, 2005 in Long Beach, California during the State Farm Awards Luncheon.
