2006 Brick Awards For Youth Community Leaders

2006 Brick Awards For Youth Community Leaders Deadline for Applications: November 1, 2005

Each year, Do Something, a national not-for-profit organization that inspires young people to believe that change is possible, honors six outstanding leaders age 18 and under and three outstanding leaders between the ages of 19 and 25 who use their talents to take action that measurably strengthens their communities in the areas of community building, health, or the environment. Each of the 18 and under winners is awarded a $5,000 higher education scholarship and a $5,000 community grant, to be directed by the award winner to the not-for-profit organization of his or her choice.

Winners in the 19 to 25 category each receive a $10,000 community grant.

Do Something only accepts online applications for the program, and will not accept nomination applications (applicants must apply on their own behalves).
