Mike Moncrief Believing in Youth Award
Community Hero Award Nomination Request

Santa Fe Youth Services recognizes that the resiliency of young people is uniquely and powerfully impacted by those individuals taking personal responsibility for nurturing the positive development of our youth. Santa Fe Youth Service's Board of Directors and agency leadership believe few public figures have accomplished more to model this commitment to young people than Fort Worth Mayor, Mike Moncrief.

The Mike Moncrief "Believing in Youth"Awards were established in 2004 for the purpose of recognizing those individuals who demonstrate extraordinary commitment to the youth of Tarrant County. Although recipients of these annual awards may be recognized for accomplishments that are varied and diverse, they share a common quality of dedicated service that significantly enhances the quality of life and future prospects for the many young people they encounter.

On May 10, 2012, Santa Fe Youth Services will host the Ninth Annual Mike Moncrief "Believing In Youth" Awards Banquet at The Fort Worth Club in downtown Fort Worth. If you know someone who meets the criteria listed below, we encourage you to nominate him/her by submitting the following information. A committee consisting of Santa Fe Youth Services' Board of Directors and community volunteers will review the nominations and announce the 2012 award recipients the end of January, 2012.
