About the Award
The Congressional Award is a
non-competitive, voluntary program that is open
to all young people age 13.5-23. Created
by Congress, the award promotes a unique
opportunity for young people to set and achieve
personally challenging goals that build
character and foster community service, personal
development, and citizenship. To
EARN a
Congressional Award, participants set and
achieve individual goals in for program areas:
Voluntary Public Service, Personal Development,
Physical Fitness, Expedition/Exploration.
The program establishes a sense of
self-confidence, and helps to enhance problem
solving skills and the ability to work as part
of a team. The six levels of award provide
tangible evidence of success and effort on the
part of the person, and many youth use their
record of achievement in their college,
scholarship or job application.
