The Prudential Spirit of Communities Awards provides us with an opportunity to celebrate the spirit of youth volunteer service and recognize Girl Scouts who have distinguished themselves by making a meaningful difference in their communities by volunteering.
Qualifying Girl Scouts must:
- Be in grades 5-12 as of Nov. 4, 2014, and a legal resident.
- Have participated in a volunteer activity at least in part after Sept. 1, 2013
- Complete and submit an online application by Nov. 4, 2014 and submit it to the Awards Program Manager
How to submit an online application:
- Go to http://spirit.prudential.com or www.nassp.org/spirit
- Complete the application and the student/parent agreement by Nov. 4
- Go to the certification page to e-mail or print out instructions for GSSI. You must deliver this to the Awards Program Manager by Nov. 4.
Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois will then select a local honoree. This Girl Scout will receive the President’s Volunteer Service Award if she has contributed the minimum number of hours to qualify and will become eligible to win an award of $1,000 or more, a beautifully engraved medallion, and an all-expense-paid trip with a parent to Washington, D.C., next spring for four days of special recognition events.
