Do you know a high school student who is making a big difference in the community?  They can be nominated (or self-nominate) for the Parade All America High School Service Team. PARADE Magazine and The LEAGUE (a national youth service-learning organization which empowers young people to make a positive difference in their communities) are seeking nominations for a new form of award, The All America High School Service Team, to recognize students who have made exemplary contributions in the service areas of: health, education, environment, economics or community.   These students show service as a solution to solve community problems and the power of stories to inspire others to action. All nominations must be received online by April 14, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. EST.  Nominations will be scored by independent reviewers based on impact of using service to solve community problems.  Final winners will be selected by a blue ribbon panel of leaders from across sectors and will be invited to receive an award and accept the challenge of a task: developing their own ideas as a national group for promoting service and service-learning in schools nationwide.The 15 winning students will be invited to travel to Washington DC with a parent or teacher for a special ceremony on June 9. www.parade.com/service or www.theleague.org
