Recognize an Outstanding Youth

Recognizing young people for their positive contributions is a powerful protective factor that helps build confidence, connection, and resilience. At PG Cares, we love celebrating the youth in our community who are making a difference.

 

We invite you to nominate a teen who lives in Pleasant Grove or attends a Pleasant Grove school. Whether they’re demonstrating kindness, leadership, perseverance, service, or overcoming challenges, we want to recognize the positive impact they’re making.

We Love to Recognize Youth Who…

✔ Show kindness

✔ Help others

✔ Demonstrate leadership

✔ Overcome challenges

✔ Serve their community

✔ Set a positive example

Each month, one youth will be featured on the PG Cares Instagram page and receive a small gift. Quarterly, recipients will also be recognized at a Pleasant Grove City Council meeting, and—with parent or guardian permission—featured in the PG Cares newsletter.

 

Thank you for helping us celebrate and encourage the incredible youth in our community!
