Exchange Welcomes Youths of the Months

The Exchange Club of Springfield will meet Tuesday January 29, 2019 in the Alumni Room of the Wittenberg Student Center at Noon.  Our guest speakers will be area high school Students of the Month competing for our Youth of the Year Award.

One of the most popular Exchange youth projects, the Youth of the Month/Year Award recognizes hard-working high school students who attain high levels of scholastic achievement, community involvement and leadership. This proven program not only rewards outstanding young people, but also provides an incentive for other youngsters to strive for equally high levels of achievement. Once a Youth of the Month program has been successfully implemented, the groundwork for conducting an annual Youth of the Year competition is already in place. Selection of the Youth of the Year is simply made from the club’s Youth of the Month recipients for that school year. The club’s Youth of the Year advances to district competition, and ultimately, an opportunity to vie for the prestigious National Youth of the Year Award. Specially designed plaques and certificates, along with a detailed Youth of the Month/Year information guide and application, can be obtained from National Headquarters.
