Reminder - Youth Volunteer Award Deadline is April 1, 2011

SAN DIMAS, CA - Congressman David Dreier (R-CA) issued a reminder today that the deadline for applications for the annual Youth Volunteer Award is April 1, 2011.  Congressman Dreier has sponsored the award for several years as an effort to honor the contributions young people have made to their communities through volunteer work.  The award is open to all high school students between the ages of 14 and 18 residing in the 26th Congressional District. 

          “Each year I look forward to honoring the young people in our community,” Dreier said.  “It is always inspiring to see the level of responsibility and commitment they put forward.  Far too often students are not recognized for the good they have done.  The goal of the Youth Volunteer Award program is to highlight their efforts and ensure they receive the recognition they deserve.”

            Applications are available online at http://dreier.house.gov or can be picked up at Congressman Dreier's district office at 510 East Foothill Boulevard, Suite 201, San Dimas.  Those interested in applying must complete an application documenting his/her volunteer service, write a 250-500 word essay describing the benefits of this service to the community, submit one letter of reference, and have an informal interview with the Youth Volunteer Award Council. Congressman Dreier’s office can be reached by calling 909.575.6226 or 888.906.2626.  The deadline for completed applications is 5 PM on Friday, April 1, 2011.

           The 26th Congressional District includes the cities of Arcadia, Bradbury, Charter Oak, Claremont, Glendora, La Cañada Flintridge, La Crescenta, La Verne, Monrovia, Montclair, Montrose, Rancho Cucamonga, San Antonio Heights, San Dimas, San Marino, Sierra Madre, Upland, Walnut, Wrightwood and portions of Altadena, Pasadena and San Gabriel.
