Birmingham Youth Assistance is now accepting nominations for its Youth in Service award program, a celebration of local high school and middle school students who have demonstrated a passion for helping others in our community. Nominated students will be honored at a spring event and will receive commendations from elected officials at the local, state, and national levels. Selected “All Star” students also will receive financial awards. This recognition will strengthen any college or scholarship application.

Public or private school students in grades 6 through 12 who live or are educated within the geographic area served by the Birmingham Public School district are eligible. If you know a middle school or high school student who has a passion for helping others, please make their families aware of this opportunity. Additional eligibility criteria and nomination forms can be found at www.birminghamyouthassistance.com. The nomination deadline is March 14, 2025.
