Youth Recognition

Each year Bloomfield Youth Assistance honors students from our community who have proven to be outstanding citizens. We do this because we believe that positive behaviors are often overlooked. These young people serve as role models for their peers and reassure the community that the future is in good hands.

A candidate may be nominated for an award under any of the following categories: 

1. Performance of an act of heroism
2. Providing exceptional service to an individual
3. Achievement by an individual based upon overcoming a personal challenge while setting an example by assisting others
4. The initiation of a new program or project to help others
5. Exceptional service within an organization or club

Nominations come from schools, hospitals, churches, fire and police departments, and private citizens who have been helped by a youth. The recipients are honored at our annual Outstanding Youth Recognition Awards program in the spring.
