Nominations now being accepted
Vancouver, WA – Nominations for the eleventh annual Youth Achievement Awards are now being accepted for a celebration set for Sunday, May 17, 2009. Nominations must be received by Friday, April 10.
Coordinated by the Clark County Youth Commission under the guidance of Clark County’s Department of Community Services, the awards recognize county youth age 11-19 who have demonstrated achievement in any of 10 categories. Categories include: Courage, arts, business/enterprise, citizenship, leadership, family life, education, environmental stewardship, personal achievement or inspiration.
The Youth Commission is a youth-driven advisory board established by the Clark County Board of Commissioners in April 1998. Members ages 11-19 from throughout Clark County provide a youth-oriented point of view to the work of the Board of County Commissioners, county departments, and community organizations.
The Youth Commission informs these groups about important issues, makes suggestions on how to address the issues and provides direction on how to build positive partnerships.
Anyone may submit nominations and youth may nominate themselves. Nomination forms are now online and may be found at:
