Volunteer Awards

Young Volunteers Invited to Apply for Prudential Spirit of
         Community Awards

Deadline: October 31, 2006

The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards honor young people in
grades 5 through 12 who have demonstrated exemplary voluntary
service to their communities. The program was created in 1995 and
is sponsored by Prudential Financial ( http://prudential.com/ )
in partnership with the National Association of Secondary
School Principals ( http://www.principals.org/ ). Over the past
twelve years, the program has honored more than 70,000 young
volunteers at the local, state, and national levels.

Schools and officially designated organizations may select one
middle level and one high school Local Honoree for every 1,000
students (or portion thereof). Local Honorees are judged at the
state level, with 102 State Honorees from the 50 United States
and the District of Columbia to be named in February 2007.
Each State Honoree will receive $1,000 and an all-expenses-paid
trip to Washington, D.C., (May 5-8, 2007) with a parent or
guardian. While in Washington, ten National Honorees will be
chosen. Each of the ten National Honorees receives an additional
$5,000, a gold medallion, and a crystal trophy for his or her
school.

Officially designated local organizations are Girl Scout
councils, county 4-H organizations, American Red Cross Chapters,
YMCAs, and member Volunteer Centers of the Points of Light
Foundation & Volunteer Center National Network.

Student applications are due back to schools or organizations
by October 31, 2006.
