Nominate a student
Hillsborough County is accepting nominations for the Youth Excellence and Achievement Awards (YEA! Awards), until 5 p.m., on May 13.
The YEA! Awards were created in 2010, to recognize Hillsborough County students for making a difference in their community.
Students honored show initiative, innovation, and a commitment to themselves and others, while pursuing excellence in a leadership capacity. This can be demonstrated in academics, community service, athletics, performing arts, conservation, or other areas.
Nominations can be submitted for both middle and high school students, in each of these categories:
- Leadership — demonstrating positive impact on others in an ongoing endeavor, such as sports, academics or the arts
- Success Despite Difficult Odds — overcoming tremendous personal difficulty to attain success and to make a positive impact on others
- Volunteer or Community Service — allocating discretionary time to help others to complete a project that has improved the community
Nominations will be reviewed by the Commission on the Status of Women.
The awards will be presented in June by the Hillsborough County Commission.
Forms are available for online submissions at HCFLGov.net/YEA.
For more information, call Hillsborough County Communications & Digital Media at 813-272-5194.
