ACT's Youth Appreciation Award recognizes Bennington youth for their leadership, kindness, and efforts to make the community a healthier place.

For example, nominees may be lending a hand to family members, younger youth, or community members in need; making a difference through activism; using their creativity to beautify a school or neighborhood; or demonstrating determination and resilience in overcoming life challenges.

Nominations are due by Monday, May 6, 2024. Educators, school staff, mentors, coaches, and youth-serving professionals are encouraged to nominate a young person in their life.

One student will be honored in the following categories: PK, K-3, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12.

Contact info@actbennington.org with questions or if you experience difficulty with the form.

Eligibility

Youth nominees must be a current student in the Southwest Vermont Supervisory Union (SVSU) geographic area (private and home-schooled students welcome). Nominees cannot nominate themselves or be nominated by a family member.
