The Lawrence League of Women Voters Announces 2025 Youth Leadership Award Application
The League of Women Voters of Lawrence Township (LWVLT) is pleased to offer its Annual Youth Leadership Awards for 2025. The LWVLT is part of a state and national nonpartisan civic organization open to women, men, and students. The LWVLT primarily serves Lawrence, Trenton, Hamilton and Ewing, and high school seniors from throughout the area are encouraged to apply.
The LWVLT will award $750 to one or more high school seniors who exemplify Youth Civic Leadership in their communities. Past awardees have launched creative and effective campaigns promoting voter education, participation and social justice in their schools and communities.
"The League of Women Voters of Lawrence Township believes that the students of Mercer County are our valued future leaders," says LWVLT Board Member and Award Chairperson Kieanna Childs Alexander. "As an expression of our efforts to empower our future leaders, and to help them continue their education, we encourage all students to apply for our Youth Leadership Award."
Award requirements are intentionally broad to encourage applications from students conducting non-traditional forms of civic action and education. Minimum submission requirement is a one-page essay or a one-minute video. Preference will be given to student projects that align with the LWV values and mission.
A committee of our members will the award selections with the expectation that students apply the funds to their future higher education. The recipients will also be invited to address our members at the LWVLT Annual Meeting on June 18, 2025.
Submission deadline is Friday, May 2, 2025. To be considered, please submit our online application form at: https://forms.gle/Cb9iKLku2zPwJfdNA.
