YMCA Character Award

Through January 15, 2011, The YMCA is looking for stories of youth who are wonderful examples of caring, honesty, responsibility and respect. Forty YMCA of Greater Cincinnati Character Awards will be presented in April to local teens who, through volunteerism, mentoring, advocacy, leadership and selfless giving are making a positive difference in the world around them.

YMCA Character Award nominees must be between 12 and 18 years of age; be enrolled in an elementary, junior or senior high school; reside within the Greater Cincinnati tri-state area. They also must agree to participate in the honoree orientation event in March 2011, and the YMCA Character Awards Event during the week of April 11, 2011.

To nominate a teen, please visit YMCA of Greater Cincinnati website or call the Community Services YMCA at 513-961-3200.
