The Above & Beyond Youth Award is an award that recognizes teenagers in middle and high school who have created positive change in their lives. The awards program provides business, community, and civic leaders an opportunity to actively demonstrate their belief in and support for the young people in our community.

This one-of-a-kind award encompasses all youth: youth who have not finished school, youth in traditional classroom settings, youth in group homes, youth in alternative schools, youth in foster homes and emancipated youth.
Proposed Award: Winners will receive a monetary award, a crystal trophy, a signed letter by elected officials to use for college applications or job applications, and a framed award certificate. Monetary Award would be based on sponsorships and donations.
