Volunteer Award

The Ellen Maher Volunteer Award will be given to an individual who has faithfully and effectively engaged with fellow students to support the work of BRIDGES and who has also proved him or herself to be a friend to the homeless, with whom we are in community. This individual will also exhibit traits, which in the opinion of the BRIDGES Board of Trustees, make it likely that he or she will continue to thoughtfully and lovingly touch the world in important and meaningful ways.

Students receiving the award will receive public recognition in the BRIDGES newsletter and ideally in local newspapers. A framed certificate of honor will also be presented by a BRIDGES representative.

Nomination deadline: April 1. ( PDF application ).
