Park City Student Service Award at a Glance
The Park City Student Service Award team believe that today's student volunteers are tomorrow's leaders, volunteers, and philanthropists!
Which is why we work closely with the Park City School District, the Park City Education Foundation, and The McGuire Family Foundation to honor and recognize students in the Park City school district who have demonstrated extraordinary leadership and service to others through their volunteer efforts.
The Student Service Award is not attached to grades or participation in a club - it is purely a volunteer service acknowledgement.
If you are a student in grades 6-12 who volunteers or you know of a student volunteer in grades 6-12, please apply or nominate the student today. The application deadline is Friday, May 3, 2024.
