NORTH READING — The North Reading Community Impact Team’s Youth Substance Use Prevention Coalition and Youth Action Team are now accepting nominations for the 2020 Trusted Adult Award.
“As our coalition looks at substance use prevention we cannot underestimate the impact adults have on shaping young people,” explains Drug-Free Communities Grant Director Amy Luckiewicz. “Adults should be encouraged to be open and available to the town’s youth and know that they can really make a difference by listening and engaging with young people. This award is meant to recognize those individuals who kids see as a go-to person in their lives.”
Any individual living or working in the town of North Reading, of adult age, is eligible. Organizations may not be nominated. Youth of any age through high school may nominate an adult by completing the 2020 Trusted Adult Award Nomination Form and submitting it to the Community Impact Team by Friday, September 4.
Up to three winners will be selected based on the nomination form. Winners will be selected by student members of the Youth Action Team and will be presented with a 2020 Star Award at the Community Impact Team Annual Breakfast.
For more information on the award or to receive a nomination form, contact Amy Luckiewicz at: coalition@northreadingma.gov or visit www.northreadingma.gov/CIT to download the form.
