Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness Launches Mayor's Youth Service Award Program

~ Fishers, IN- Mayor Scott Fadness has announced the launch of a new initiative, the Mayor's Youth Service Awards program, aimed at encouraging junior high and high school students to give back to their community through volunteerism and civic engagement.

The program, which is open to Fishers residents enrolled in public, private or home school programs, recognizes students who dedicate their time to serving others through qualified nonprofits and approved community partners. These partners include local service organizations, schools, and neighborhood programs.

According to Mayor Fadness, "Serving others is one of the most impactful ways our young residents can shape their community. This program not only recognizes that commitment but also helps instill a lifelong passion for civic engagement."

Students will be recognized at various levels based on the number of volunteer hours completed. These levels include Bronze (50-99 hours), Silver (100-149 hours), Gold (150-199 hours), Platinum (200-299 hours), and Diamond (300+ hours). Each level comes with its own set of rewards such as certificates of civic leadership, lapel pins, graduation cords, letters of commendation from Mayor Fadness, and even a breakfast with the mayor.

Other opportunities include helping out at popular events like Fishers Touch-a-Truck and Spark!Fishers.

Volunteer roles are also available for the Geist Half Race Series in September where students can help with packet pickup, course support, parking assistance, and start/finish line operations.
