Is The President’s Award for your teen?

It’s more than just an award; it looks good on university applications. It looks even better on CVs and resumes and sets them apart when in the workforce. The Award gives youth an opportunity to talk about themselves in a non-academic way. The Award allows young people to document all of the activities they do outside of their formal education. The Award equips young people to become well-rounded responsible citizens; self-starters that are confident, resilient, team players and they learn various life skills such as leadership.
