The awards honor young men and women who actively work to make a difference in helping to improve their schools, local communities and Westchester County.

"I am so proud of the things our young people are able to accomplish on behalf of others here in Westchester," said County Executive Robert P. Astorino. "This year we are especially looking for students who demonstrate leadership in the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering, math and innovative thinking. As always, I look forward to being impressed by the talent and dedication of Westchester's students."

Nominations are due no later than June 26. Applications can be obtained at www.westchestergov.com/youth

Nominees must be current high school juniors, graduating with the class of 2016, who are residents of Westchester County. These students should exhibit a commitment to learning, positive values, social competencies and a positive identity.
The Youth Board will select up to 10 students for recognition at an awards dinner to take place at the Davenport Club in New Rochelle on Oct. 21, 2015.

The Milly Kibrick Youth Service Awards are given in memory of Milly Kibrick, a prominent county social worker and youth activist who dedicated her life to helping underprivileged children. During her career and in retirement, she was the quintessential social worker, social entrepreneur, volunteer and political activist, pursuing social and economic justice for children of all ages.
