Celebrate the community’s future by nominating a teen who is making a difference in the lives of others for the YMCA of the Northwoods Teen Character Awards. These awards recognize teens that demonstrate the Y’s core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, and are a way to recognize teens who have made positive changes in their lives and in our community.

Any adult can nominate teens they feel deserve recognition, by completing a nomination form and turn it in to the YMCA of the Northwoods. Deadline is on or before Feb. 26. The awards program will be held April 4.

Nomination forms are available at ymcaofthenorthwoods.com or at the front desk at the Y. For more information, contact Jenny Chiamulera, 715-362-9666 ext. 120 or jchiamulera@ymcanw.org. All award winners will be contacted by March 11.
