Youth Central, a local youth volunteer organization, is
looking for youth performers for our annual Youth of Distinction Award ceremony
coming up on May 7th, 2016. [1] These awards are unique in that they do not
focus on academic achievement; they recognize youth ages 12-18 for supporting
their peers, overcoming personal challenges or lending their voice to a cause
they are passionate about. The awards are also promoted and the ceremony is
planned by a committee of 11 youth.
After receiving 139 nominations, we will recognize 30
young finalists at an award ceremony where they can invite their friends and families,
and the recipients of each of our nine categories will be announced live. In an
effort to further promote the amazing things youth do in our community, we
reach out to young performers each year, to liven up our ceremony.
We would be looking for 1-2 performances to take place
during our brunch celebration, each about 5 minutes in length. As we are a
non-profit group, we can offer brunch, free admission to the zoo and a small
honorarium. If there is interest in performing at our upcoming ceremony on May
7th, we ask that you please submit a short video clip, via email by March 21st,
for our youth steering committee to review.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
MICHELLE KEMBALL
Program Coordinator
