The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards has begun its search for Arizona’s top youth volunteers of 2017. Now through Nov. 8, students in grades 5-12 are invited to apply for Prudential Spirit of Community Awards if they have made meaningful contributions to their communities through volunteer service within the past 12 months.

The program, sponsored by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), was created in 1995 to recognize middle level and high school students for helping people in need, promoting health and safety, protecting the environment, or volunteering in other ways. The awards are presented annually on the local, state and national level. National winners receive $5,000.

Applicants for 2017 awards must complete their online applications by Nov. 8, then submit them for certification to a middle or high school principal, Girl Scout council, county 4-H agent, American Red Cross chapter, YMCA or HandsOn Network affiliate.

The application is available at http://spirit.prudential.com and www.nassp.org/spirit. Paper application forms can be requested by calling 877-525-8491.
