Nominations for this year’s Monroe County Youth Awards are now open until February 13.
Each year, the Monroe County Legislature works with the Monroe County Youth Bureau to identify and honor exceptional youth and adults who serve as youth advocates in our community.
Members of the Legislature identify young people who serve our community, with help from our local schools, churches, local charities, and neighbors like you. We also seek to identify adults who continually advocate for the young members of our community. As County Legislators, we have the opportunity to nominate worthy recipients across the following categories:
- Age 12 and Under – Young Citizen of Excellence
- Age 13 through 15 – Young Citizen of Excellence
- Age 16 through 21 (up to age 24 for youth with intellectual or developmental disabilities) – Young Citizen of Excellence
- Willie J. Lightfoot Youth Advocate (an adult advocate for youth)
- Gary Mervis Youth Team Achievement Award
If you know someone who possesses the qualities deserving of a Youth Award or Youth Advocate Award, please nominate them by scanning the QR code or visiting www.monroecounty.gov/youth-award-form. In addition, you are welcome to contact your County Legislator at 585-753-1922 for assistance or any questions.
