We hope to create a groundswell of literacy service in <br />communities across the country. Prizes will be awarded to Youth Leaders and groups who <br />develop model literacy projects. The initiative also seeks to have groups recruit volunteers by <br />posting ongoing opportunities to read to younger children on the new NEA Get Involved! <br />page. The NEA and Youth Service America developed the Youth Leaders for Literacy program <br />to encourage and celebrate literacy service of our nation's young people and honor them for <br />doing reading-related activities that benefit others. <br /> <br />:> NIKE YOUTH ACTION AWARDS (Past Deadline) <br /> <br />Media and pollcymakers frequently call American youth apathetic, citing the low turnout of <br />18- to 24-year-old voters as evidence that youth do not care. We know that this <br />representation of young people is not the real story. Volunteering among college freshmen In <br />the United States is at an all-time high, and over 70 percent of young people ages 15-21 <br />have participated in activities to help strengthen their community at some point in their lives. <br />Youth may not be voting, but they prove that they care about their communities 365 days a <br />year. YOUTH SERVICE AMERICA and the NIKE FOUNDATION are proud to present the <br />YOUTH ACTION AWARDS to help young people see - and act on - the connection between <br />their community service and the larger public policy implications and solutions. Ten YOUTH <br />ACTION AWARDS of $500 each will be awarded in June 2002 to youth or youth <br />organizations to implement continuing advocacy/action plans based on their NATIONAL <br />YOUTH SERVICE DAY 2002 project. Only by getting involved in the policy-making process <br />can youth volunteers be sure that they are not cleaning the same polluted river or teaching <br />in the same under-funded schools year after year. <br /> <br />:> [Back] <br /> <br />:> Additional Awards &.
