Yale Club of Nevada Community Service Award

The Yale Club of Nevada wants to recognize Nevada’s high school students who make a difference in their local communities. The Yale Club of Nevada Day of Service Award was created to foster students’ commitment in serving their local communities through innovative/creative problem solving, service, and communication.

The students must organize and execute a one-day community service project that takes place on the Yale Day of Service – Saturday, 13 May 2017 and any media, awareness, or any other public commentary must state the purpose as being part of the Yale Day of Service Nevada 2017 initiative.

One project will be selected as the winner. An award along with tuition for Shaan Patel’s (Alumni of Yale Business School) PrepExpert SAT/ACT testing prep program attendance worth $800 will be given to one winner.

The selection is based on the project’s positive impact on the community, innovative problem solving, number of volunteers dedicated to the project, and awareness of the issue being addressed to the greater community. The project must be documented with photos on the Yale Day of Service to serve as proof of the execution of the project.

The Yale Club of NV will invite Yale alumni to participate in the students’ projects as volunteers on Yale Day of Service.

Eligibility: All Nevada high school students in Grades 9 through 12 are eligible. The projects can have volunteers of all ages as long as the project is appropriate for all ages. Details and guidelines for participating volunteers must be provided by the project lead.

Organizations: Teams/schools can compete as a single entity rather than as individuals if that is preferred, but the lead must be an eligible student and only one award will be given.
