TEENS IN ACTION AWARDS	2017

Older 4-H members who are doing a good job in providing leadership for a local club activity or project and/or county leadership deserve recognition for their efforts. A "pat on the back" and saying "nice job" are important informal awards. Formal awards are also available. These awards are special youth leadership pins sponsored by the Waupaca County 4-H Leaders' Association. The selection for these awards is as follows:

1.	Any club leader can complete the Teens in Action nomination form for a member who is doing a good job of providing leadership for a club project or activity. If a leader or parent would like to nominate their own child, please ask another leader to complete the nomination form.

a.	This award will be judged solely on this application, not the 4-H record book. Please be specific when completing the nomination form.

b.	Members nominated do not have to be enrolled in youth leadership.

c.	A member may be nominated for more than one project and/or activity leadership award. Submit one nomination form for each project or activity in which this member has provided leadership.

d.	Activity leadership denotes leadership in an activity involving all or more of the club's members. Activities include: Recreation, Club Events, Community Service, Citizenship, Drama, Music, June Dairy Month, Highway Clean up, etc. Project leadership involves providing leadership to members of the club in one specific 4-H project like foods, photography or dairy.

2.	Leadership accomplishments of member must be listed by the leaders making the nomination.

3.	Two different leaders need to write a recommendation and sign the form. It is suggested that one be the adult leader for the project or activity (if the club has one), and the other leader can be the club's organizational or general leader.

4.	The nomination form is to be submitted by September 19 and final evaluation will be made by Outagamie or Shawano County Leaders.

5.	A member may be nominated more than once, but may receive the Teens in Action Award only once.
