The State Farm Youth Leadership for Service-Learning Excellence Award recognizes K-12 service-learning programs and projects that demonstrate outstanding youth leadership. The award focuses on projects showing a high level of youth initiative in all areas of planning, including identifying the authentic need, planning the service, and putting that plan into action.

Teams of young people representing kindergarten through 12th grade service-learning projects can apply. National experts and representatives from NYLC and  the State Farm Companies Foundation review the applications and select the winner.

The award is presented annually at The National Service-Learning Conference. The winning team sends two youth representatives and one adult leader to accept the award. Travel, lodging, and conference registrations are paid. The selected program also receives a $500 award to fund future work, and each member of the team receives a certificate.
