Minnesota Youth Service Challenge
The Jefferson Awards wants to help tell the stories of the incredible service projects youth are doing to make the world a better place. That is why the Youth Service Challenge (YSC) was created – to publicly recognize and highlight youth service, while empowering all young people to realize the power they have to affect change. By entering your project on the Youth Service Challenge website (www.YouthServiceChallenge.net), you could gain recognition and have your story told around Minnesota, possibly receive national recognition, earn awards & cash prizes, or even a trip to Washington, DC to be recognized at the Jefferson Awards National Gala! Receiving recognition by the Jefferson Awards adds tremendous prestige to your work! Enter your project on the website in 3 simple steps:
- Sign up.
- Tell us about your project.
- Upload your results (photos, videos, etc.).
Projects carried out between Oct 1, 2012 and April 30, 2013 are eligible for recognition, and you can enter more than one project. You are changing the world! We want to tell your story!
