Nominations Open For Youth Community Service Awards
High school seniors from the U.S. and U.S. territories are eligible to be nominated for the Yoshiyama Award for Exemplary Service to the Community presented by the Hitachi Foundation (hitachifoundation.org) each year to ten recipients on the basis of their community service activities. Activities must foster longer-term community change and be focused in socially and/or economically isolated communities. The award is accompanied by a cash prize of $5,000 dispensed over two years. The foundation accepts nominations annually from people directly familiar with the nominee’s social contribution such as community leaders, service providers, teachers, school principals, or members of the clergy. More information can be found on the Yoshiyama Award website.
