Virginia’s Top Two Youth Volunteers Selected in Annual National Awards Program
Samantha Halle, 18, of Richmond and Nyasha Sprow, 12, of Dale City have been named Virginia's top two youth volunteers for 2010 by The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, a nationwide program honoring young people for outstanding acts of volunteerism. The awards program is conducted by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP). Samantha was nominated by Maggie L. Walker Governor's School in Richmond, and Nyasha was nominated by the Prince William Chapter of the American Red Cross in Manassas. As State Honorees, each will receive $1,000, an engraved silver medallion, and an all-expense-paid trip in early May to Washington, D.C., where they will join the top two honorees from each state and the District of Columbia for several days of national recognition events. Honors were also bestowed on youth volunteers from Fredericksburg, Colonial Beach, Glen Allen, Purcellville, McLean, and Richmond. Read more.
