Attention high-school students and parents of high school students in grades 9, 10 & 11.
There is nothing more important to a society that aims to flourish than guiding its youth towards Morality and Leadership. ICR is very excited to bring to your attention the “Congressional Award” program.
The Congressional Award program dovetails nicely with extra-curricular activities in schools, and various youth programs. The Award can act as a value-added component for the personal development of youth people. The program establishes a sense of self-confidence, and helps to enhance problem-solving skills and the ability to work as a part of a team – traits that are valued by employers and institutions of higher education.
- The Congressional Award is a non-competitive, voluntary program that is open to all young people ages 14 to 23.
- The program is well-balanced, containing four (4) diverse program areas that encourage youth to explore new areas of their choosing and learn more about themselves and the world around them.
- Six levels of the Award provide tangible evidence of success and effort on the part of the young person, and many youth use their record of achievement in their college, scholarship, or job applications.
- The Award empowers young people to take a greater responsibility for their own lives, to discover new talents, to advocate on behalf of others, and to take positive action in the community.
The nominal application fee of $15 is paid directly to the U.S. Congress in Washington, DC
