Initiated in 2019, the program highlights youths ages 13 through 19 who are phenomenal at something they do. Some of the categories for this year’s awards include community service, leadership, writing, art, innovation and the courage to overcome adversity.

Nominations must be completed and submitted no later than Sept. 21. The form can be emailed to [email protected] or can be mailed to Connie Howard, San Diego County Public Defender Youth Council, 451 A St., Suite 1480, San Diego, CA 92101.

However, Anza-Borrego Foundation is soliciting input from Borrego residents about what could be included in the new facility to also serve the local community. Refreshments and childcare will be provided.
