If you've made a difference through volunteering over the past year, you could win $1,000 and a fabulous trip to Washington, D.C. next May by applying for a Prudential Spirit of Community Award! Even more importantly, you could win recognition that might inspire other young people to follow your example. These prestigious awards, sponsored by Prudential Financial and NASSP, have honored nearly 100,000 middle and high school students at the local, state, and national level over the past 16 years solely for their volunteer work.
It’s easy to apply: Go to: http://spirit.prudential.com/view/page/soc/16676
Click on the “Apply Now” link below, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Once you have completed your online application, go to the “Certification” page to either email certification instructions to your certifier or to print them out and hand-deliver them. These instructions will enable your certifier to review your application online. This must be done by November 1, 2011. Your certifier can be your school principal or the head of one of these officially designated local organizations: a county 4-H group, Girl Scout council, American Red Cross chapter, YMCA, or affiliate of HandsOn Network.
Print out the signature page of your application, sign it, have a parent or guardian sign it, and then either mail or scan and upload it to the application site by November 1, 2011. (If you do not have Internet access, please call 877-525-8491 toll-free to receive a paper form.)
