Webresource: Congressional Award

From LIFE of FL Yahoo Group:

Congressional Award
http://www.congressionalaward.org/

The Congressional Award is the U.S. Congress' award for young
Americans. It is non-partisan, voluntary, and non-competitive. The
program is open to all 14- to 23-year-olds. Participants earn Bronze,
Silver and Gold Congressional Award Certificates and Bronze, Silver
and Gold Congressional Award Medals. Each level involves setting
goals in four program areas; Volunteer Public Service, Personal
Development, Physical Fitness, and Expedition/Exploration. Earning
the Award is a fun and interesting way to get more involved in
something you already enjoy or something you'd like to try for the
first time. You move at your own pace - on your own or with your
friends. This is not an award for past accomplishments. Instead, you
are honored for achieving your own challenging goals.

Regardless of your situation, you can earn The Congressional Award.
The Congressional Award has no minimum grade point average
requirements. It accommodates young people with special needs or
disabilities who are willing to take the challenge. The Congressional
Award is open to all.
