(VGHS) Fifty-four (54) students are being recognized by the United Nations Association of the USA (UNA-USA) and InnerView in the 8th Annual Community Service Impact Awards. This program, open to all U.S. students, has been designed to connect student community service activities, skill development, and commitment to the Global Goals to transform our world. The Kroger Co. is presenting the sixth annual Zero Hero Awards to students for taking action to help create communities free of hunger and waste.
Schools with a collective student impact above 2,000 hours of service, the equivalent of a full time employee, are recognized with a School Impact Award. We are thrilled to acknowledge students from Vista Grande High School have invested 4,505+ hours in community needs: earning the Sapphire Award. Student volunteers from Vista Grande High School delivered the most impact for the issue of: Quality Education.
A key artifact students gain through the Award Program is the development of a digital service resume for use in job and college applications to demonstrate personal commitment, 21st century skills, and key areas of interest. The three-tier award program recognizes a range of student achievement: Merit for 30 hours, Honor for 60 hours and Ambassador for 100 hours of service this school year and special recognition for a focus on Zero Hunger and Zero Waste.
