Service Youth Community Service Award
Each year, the Clements International Award for

service projects. The award honors teenagers who have
demonstrated outstanding volunteer efforts either in community
service or in service to their peers while facing the challenges
of growing up in an internationally mobile lifestyle. Two awards
are presented to Foreign Service teenagers for their work either
overseas or in the United States. First place award winners each
receive a savings bond compliments of Clements
