2012 Service-Learning Practitioner Leadership Award Application

The Service-Learning Practitioner Leadership Award recognizes practitioners who have equipped young people to lead and serve, both through their direct service-learning instruction with youth and by nurturing other practitioners to expand their service-learning skills and knowledge. Each year, this award is presented to a teacher or community member who has created a living legacy through service-learning practice.

Nominations are accepted from the general public. Representatives from the National Youth Leadership Council will review applications. The committee specifically looks for nominees who have had a major hand in expanding and advancing the field. One winner will be selected. This award will be presented at the National Service-Learning Conference in Minneapolis, Minn., April 11-14, 2012. The selected practitioner will receive $1,000 to maintain and develop service-learning programs in his or her organization or school, along with travel, lodging, and registration for the conference.

Deadline to submit nomination package is Oct. 21, 2011.
