Promoting the Program

The beauty of the Congressional Award Program is that it can easily compliment the many activities that are already taking place in schools and organizations across the country. Therefore, implementing this program does not require any new commitment of additional resources. Young people engaged in activities such as improving musical skills, developing athletic abilities, or volunteering in the community could use these and many other pursuits to earn a Congressional Award.

The National Office is always looking for volunteers to help spread the word about the Congressional Award. If you are interested in promoting the program in your area, please contact us at (202) 226-0130 to request materials and information. The items below have been made available for you to download.

Here are some easy steps to follow to get started:

Learn about the Congressional Award

  • Request an information packet and materials from the National Office.
  • View the Power Point Presentation available on our website.
  • Sign up to receive monthly email updates to learn about current Congressional Award news and events.

Recruit Youth and Other Adult Leaders

  • Set up a meeting at your local high school, Boy Scout/Girl Scout Council, YMCA, or any youth group to present the program to key leaders and/or youth. Use the PowerPoint presentation, Congressional Award video, posters or handouts provided by the National Office.
  • If you already work with youth, introduce the program to your students or youth group.
  • Create a link from your organization's website to the Congressional Award
    Website using our logo. Download it here.

Meet with Interested Youth
