The Lakes Area Youth Service Bureau Board of Directors is seeking candidates for its annual service to youth awards.
The deadline to submit a nomination is Friday, March 14, 2008. The winners will be honored at a special presentation in front of family, friends, and community members. The awards are given in the following categories:
• “On Behalf of Youth Award” honors individuals who provide excellent services or activities for youth. This award will be given to one adult and one youth.
• “James Trudeau Award” honors a licensed police officer for service or activities related to youth.
Nominees for the youth award must be in grades 9-12. A connection to the YSB is preferred but not required.
Nominations may be made by any area resident (not family members), local business owner or any area civic or service group. Nominees must live or work in the communities that make up the YSB service area; which includes Forest Lake Area School District #831 and all of Chisago County; be a positive role model for youth, break down barriers between youth and adults, and provide enthusiastic leadership and service to youth above and beyond regular job duties.
Recipients of the “On Behalf of Youth Award” will be selected by a committee made up of YSB Board members and community members. Recipients of the “James Trudeau Award” will be selected by the YSB Board of Directors.
Nomination forms may be requested from or picked up at YSB. They are also available at www.ysblakesarea.org by clicking on About YSB on the Home Page and then on YSB Awards.
Questions about the annual awards may be directed to Jeanne Walz, executive director at YSB, or Jackie Kottke, development assistant.
