For 22 years, ColleyvillebrWoman's Club (CWC) has honored young people for their community volunteerbrefforts. As a nonprofit service organization, CWC recognizes that today's youthbrmust become tomorrow's volunteers and that through volunteer service, onebrindividual can make a difference.
The community is invitedbrto nominate youth between the ages of five and 19 who attend any school—public,brprivate or home school. They must either reside or attend a school in Southlake,brBedford, Colleyville, Euless, Grapevine, Haltom City, Hurst, Keller, NorthbrRichland Hills, Richland Hills or Watauga or attend CISD, BISD GCISD, HEB ISDbror KISD. Volunteer service is not limited to those areas, however.
The awards recognizebrvoluntary, not paid, service. Fundraising activities and lobbying efforts,brregardless of good intent, are excluded from consideration. Awards are judgedbrin four age groups and each award may recognize several nominees.
