Do Something to Honor Young Social Entrepreneurs
Deadline: October 25, 2006
Each year, the Do Something Brick Award honors six outstanding leaders age 18 and under and three outstanding leaders age 19 to 25 who use their talents to take action that measurably strengthens their local communities in the areas of community building, health, or the environment.
The award is meant to highlight the achievements of individual social entrepreneurs who have made a difference in their communities.
Each of the "18 and under" winners is awarded a $5,000 higher education scholarship and a $5,000 community grant to be directed by the award winner to the nonprofit organization of his or her choice. Winners in the "19 to 25" category each receive a $10,000 community grant.
This is an award for social entrepreneurs, not activists or fundraisers. Brick winners are builders and creators who start programs/organizations and/or modernize older programs/organizations. Consider nominating an outstanding youth volunteers who is working with your organization to improve the environment.
