Each year, the mayor gives awards to individuals who have contributed service to the Newton Community. The Newton Parks and Recreation Commission and the Newton Health and Human Services Youth Commission are asking your help in seeking nominations for the 40th Annual Youth Services Awards.

ADULT AWARDS will be judged on the basis of a person’s contribution and involvement in youth programs in Newton. YOUTH AWARDS will be judged on the basis of demonstrated good citizenship and service to their fellow youth or community.

Read about the awards and please submit your nominations at http://www.newtonma.gov/gov/parks/youthawards.asp.

Please submit nominations of deserving Newton residents and students before May 18th. Thank you for your help in recognizing the efforts of individuals who have contributed extensively to the Newton Community.
