Youth Recognition

Celebrating Excellence

We partner with schools and non-profits across the country to recognize youth who demonstrate excellence in service with a Jefferson Award.

The Power of Recognition

Winning awards and getting recognized isn't the point of public service. However, it is a terrific way to get young people excited and engaged. It also helps them build key skills such as presentation skills and public speaking. Recognition is inspiration. Being celebrated by your community and peers not only feels good, it helps fuel individuals and teams to do more - to multiply good.

Any school or non-profit can partner with us to recognize youth for excellence in service using the Jefferson Awards
