Nominations Sought For Mayor's 100 Teens
The call is out for teenagers who are making a difference in our community.
Mayor Lionel Rivera announced the start of the nomination phase for the
2008-2009 class of The Mayor’s 100 Teens during City Council’s formal session
today.
Since 1998, The Mayor's 100 Teens has recognized teenagers who demonstrate a
commitment to volunteerism, leadership, and academic success and who have
overcome adversity or achieved a significant accomplishment. The program was
developed to commend local teens for successes that don't typically receive
recognition.
"The Mayor's 100 Teens not only gives these teens the recognition they
deserve, but it gives them opportunities to get involved in community service
projects and to meet other successful teens in the Pikes Peak Region," said
Mayor Rivera.
The Mayor's 100 Teens are selected by a panel of community judges in April
and are recognized in a public celebration in September that features a
multi-media presentation and fun-filled introduction of each teen. Throughout
the year, teens are invited to attend special events with the mayor, serve on
various committees and participate in community service activities.
Students in the 9th, 10th or 11th grade may be nominated for The Mayor's 100
Teens. The deadline for nominations is March 14, 2008.
