Youth of the Year Award and A.C.E. Award 2006-2007 Youth Essay Theme: Lighting the Fire Within Youth of the Year - Exchange's Youth of the Year program honors outstanding students who have exhibited excellence in academics and leadership. The National Youth of the Year Award is the culmination of an effort by hundreds of Exchange Clubs across the country to identify and recognize the young leaders of our nation. The process begins at the club level, with a monthly recognition of outstanding youth in the communities where Exchange Clubs meet. At the end of the year, monthly honorees are reviewed and one is chosen to compete at the district level. The District Youth of the Year then competes with other district winners at the national level. The National Youth of the Year receives a $10,000 scholarship and the opportunity to address Exchangites at the National Youth Recognition Luncheon. The recipient's winning essay is also featured in Exchange Today magazine. Click here to download the Youth of the Year application A.C.E. of the Year - The A.C.E.
