Mayor's Award
The Mayor’s Award recognizes Triangle-area students who serve their community in meaningful ways.
Students who complete the required number of volunteer hours at area nonprofits during summer break are recognized by the Mayor at a ceremony in the fall. Last year, students logged more than 30,000 hours of community service through the Mayor’s Award!
