Contra Costa Countywide Youth Commission

2006 Youth Hall of Fame

The signature annual event of the Countywide Youth Commission (CYC)  is the Youth Hall of Fame Awards.  This is a series of awards given every year to 5 deserving youth (between 12 & 18 years of age) and 1 adult from Contra Costa County whose achievements would otherwise go unnoticed.  The CYC believes that there are many people who make valuable contributions to our communities and are rarely recognized for these good deeds.  Help us to honor these people by submitting a nomination.

Here are the categories....

Good Samaritan: someone who goes out of his or her way to do something good without getting recognition.
School Leadership: someone who exhibits outstanding school pride and who lends a helping hand for the good of the school.
Valiant Volunteer: someone who gives his or her time and energy to a worthy cause or organization.
Sports Leadership: someone who works unselfishly for the good of the team.
Artiste: someone who uses his or her musical, literary, or artistic talent to benefit the school or community.
Adult Advocate: someone (an adult) who works diligently to support our youth

We invite you to submit a nomination of these categories by completing the attached form.  Please , no nominations of immediate relatives.
