Interactors Win Prestigious Good Citizens Award from the Union League of Philadelphia
Each year, The Youth Work Committee partners with approximately 50 youth-serving organizations (‘Agencies’) from across the Greater Philadelphia region. These agencies collectively nominate more than 280 young men and women to receive the Union League’s Good Citizenship Award. The youth are chosen without regard to race, color, creed, gender or political background, but must have demonstrated marked evidence of good citizenship.
The annual Good Citizen Day in May features a morning of presentations and workshops focused on the aspects of good citizenship. The afternoon includes special programs in Philadelphia's historic City Hall. The highlight of the day takes place off-site, away from the Union League building. Students get an opportunity to explore the different branches of government and their respective roles and responsibilities. The highlight of the day for many is the Award Banquet, which is attended by many Union League members and special guests. The Good Citizenship Award has been presented to more than 17,000 young people, many of whom have become leaders in their chosen business or profession.
This year was Rotary International's inaugural year as an agency and we could not be more proud of these amazing Interactors.
Way to go Julia and Jesse!!!
