Dear Friend,
It is my pleasure to announce that applications are being distributed for the 21st Annual Sheriff’s Youth Service Medal of Honor Award. This award is given to young people throughout Cook County who contributed at least 100 hours of volunteer service to their communities. Last year, 218 students received the Sheriff’s Youth Service Medal of Honor. Together they contributed over 35,000 hours of service in hospitals, churches and other charitable organizations.
This is an outstanding honor and the Sheriff’s Office is proud to have this opportunity to recognize these young people with this award. I encourage you to distribute the enclosed application so we can continue this tradition of recognition.
The award is available to students in grades nine through twelve who have contributed at least 100 hours of volunteer service between September 1, 2007 and August 31, 2008. The application must be postmarked no later than October 6, 2008. The application is available for download on this page below.
Thank you for your cooperation in this process. Please reproduce additional copies as needed. If you have any questions about the qualifications or the application process, please call the Youth Services Department at:
773-869-4711.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Dart
Sheriff of Cook County
