The Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley is accepting nominations through Friday, March 4 for the 2011 Mayors’ Volunteer Awards and Top Teen Awards. The awards recognize individuals who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to service through volunteerism in the Cedar Valley.
The Mayors’ Volunteer Awards honor the exemplary contributions of individuals ages 19 and older who dedicate their time and talent to volunteerism in Cedar Falls, Waterloo and/or Evansdale. The Mayors’ Top Teen Awards honor youth ages 13-18 attending a school in Black Hawk County.
All nominees and recipients will be recognized at special events on April 12 at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center. Nomination forms are available online at www.vccv.org or may be requested by calling the Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley at 272-2087.
The Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa invites 11th graders in the Cedar Valley to apply for the Mother Moon Service Scholarship. There are 11 high schools in the Cedar Valley eligible for the scholarship: Waterloo Christian School, Hudson High School, Cedar Falls High School, Northern University High School, Dunkerton High School, East High School, Columbus High School, West High School, Union High School, Don Bosco High School, and Valley Lutheran High School.
Each year, applications and scholarship brochures are distributed throughout area high schools. This scholarship is unique because it is designed for high school Juniors, and it is focused primarily on volunteerism. Those who apply for this service scholarship are awarded $500 upon completion of their senior year of high school. After being selected, recipients are responsible for continuing to serve their communities, marketing the scholarship for the following year and advocating for volunteer service.
We are asking for your help in promoting the Mother Moon Service Scholarship to juniors you may know. Students who volunteer at your organizations would be great applicants. All application materials can be found online at www.cfneia.org
or http://www.vccv.org/pdf/Nomination%20Form%202011.pdf
Applications must be postmarked by March 4, 2010.
For more information call 272-2087.
