In recognition of their outstanding contributions, 10 remarkable young individuals have been celebrated as America’s top youth volunteers of 2006.Article
Ten extraordinary middle and high school students have been honored as America’s top youth volunteers for 2006, thanks to their inspiring dedication to serving their communities.
Aged between 11 and 18, these National Honorees from The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards received $5,000 each, alongside $5,000 grants for their chosen charities. Some of the standout honorees include:
- Evan Alicuben, 17, from Hilo, Hawaii, who led the installation of "personal emergency dialers" in nearly 50 senior citizens' homes, ensuring they could easily seek help during emergencies.
- Ellie Ambrose, 12, of Nashville, Tennessee, who organized an annual carnival and a 5K race, raising over $40,000 in two years for sick and disadvantaged children in Africa.
- Alexander Lin, 13, from Westerly, Rhode Island, who spearheaded efforts to address e-waste by promoting recycling, public education, and legislative action through a student service group.
- Savannah Walters, 13, of Odessa, Florida, who launched a multi-state initiative, "Pump 'em Up," aimed at conserving energy and reducing pollution by encouraging drivers to maintain properly inflated tires.
- Ajay Mangal, 18, from Pascagoula, Mississippi, who, despite losing most of his possessions to Hurricane Katrina, dedicated himself to distributing emergency supplies to other victims and assisting families in cleaning out their homes.
Other notable contributions include the establishment of a radio station, the creation of "barn quilts" to boost tourism, founding a successful inner-city youth service organization, advocating against lead-tainted toys, and starting a nonprofit that distributes personal-care products to children in need both locally and globally.
In partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals, The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards aim to encourage youth volunteerism and recognize young role models.
