In 2010, the Kansas City Chinese American Association (KCCAA) established an annual KCCAA Community Service Award to encourage primary and secondary school students in the greater Kansas City area to develop stronger awareness of public service and to participate actively in community service. In the past four years we have seen an increasing number of young students involving in volunteer works, particularly under the leadership of KCCAA Youth Hope Fund. This year will be the fourth year we give out awards, and the three categories will be as follows: first place award: $300; second place award $200; third place award: $100.
This award may be offered to any primary or secondary school student in the greater Kansas City area and any qualified student may apply.
An applicant must:
-
Be an elementary or secondary school student (grades 1 through 12).
-
Have participated in some form of voluntary work or community service (without compensation) during the past year.
-

The application statement should include the student’s name, school, and contact information for school; a description of the community service experience; the student’s reflections on lessons learned from that experience; name and contact information for the supervisor of the community service experience.
