Youth Blog Contest
At the end of each year in December, we will choose one youth blog to win $100. The youth will be contacted to receive their gift card. The winning youth blog will be featured on our website, newsletter, and social media.
Submitting blogs
Youths can submit their blog as early as they would like. The last day to submit the youth blog is the 2nd week of December if you want to enroll for the year. Youths can also submit more than one blog, but only one blog will be selected.
