2002
Scottish Youth Award
The search is on for individuals or groups of young volunteers who have
devoted their time and effort to provide an excellent service or help to
improve the opportunities and quality of life of people in their
community.
The Award
The Scottish Foresters Youth Award is an annual event established over
30 years ago that publicly celebrates the achievements of young people.
It recognises and rewards these contributions.
The Award is open to individuals or groups of young people, aged 5 to
25, who have made a significant contribution to the community. This
support may have been financial or a service provided, but must have taken
place during 2002. Applications will be assessed locally by a group of
judges on the overall quality of the project, originality, commitment, and
sustained service and benefits to the community. Qualifying entries will
each receive a certificate and the finalist teams from local and national
competitions will each receive cheques on behalf of their nominated
charities.
How to Apply
We welcome entries from individuals or organisations such as schools,
colleges, faith groups or youth groups from all over Scotland via
Application Form (please contact Membership on
0800 990066 or email
membership@foresters.co.uk). The closing date for applications
is 20th December 2002 and successful candidates will be informed by 10th
January 2003 and invited to attend one of the local events held at
Aberdeen, Forfar, Edinburgh or Glasgow. These will be in the format of a
display of the project and an informal discussion with the judges.
Selected projects will go forward to The National Final in Perth, which
has been scheduled for 6th April 2003.
