Youth of the Year Award

The 2008-2009 Youth of the Year Essay theme is "America's Youth - Stepping Forward to Change the Beat of America"

One of the most popular Exchange youth projects, the Youth of the Month/Year Award, recognizes hard-working high school students who attain high levels of scholastic achievement, community involvement and leadership. This proven program not only rewards outstanding young people, but also provides an incentive for other youngsters to strive for equally high levels of achievement.

A.C.E. Award

A.C.E. stands for Accepting the Challenge of Excellence. This program recognizes high school students who have made a dramatic change in their attitude and performance during their high school years. These changes have enabled the students to overcome adversities and prepare for graduation. Clubs may also submit their top A.C.E. Award winner to the district competition. Winners at the Club level then have an opportunity to compete for the District A.C.E. Award.
