Programme Honours Ireland’s Top Youth Volunteers
The closing date for the sixth annual Pramerica Spirit of Community Awards is fast approaching and all second-level students who volunteer in their community, at school or abroad are encouraged to submit their applications to their school principal.
The Pramerica Spirit of Community Awards is the only programme of its kind on the island of Ireland. Since its inception in 2006, the programme has honoured approximately 100 outstanding student volunteers from 75 schools across the country.
Principals will review the applications and nominate one student in the junior category (for students up to age 16) and one student in the senior category (for students 17 to 19 years old). The deadline for submitting applications to Pramerica is Friday, 11th November 2011.
In February, a judging panel will select 20 finalists who will each receive a certificate of merit, €500, an engraved silver medallion and an invitation to the gala Awards Dinner to be held in Derry on the 28th of March. Two All-Ireland Youth Volunteers of the Year will be selected at the Awards Dinner. Each will receive €1,000 for a charity of their choice, a gold medallion and an all-expenses paid trip to the United States to attend the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards ceremony.
