What is the Champions of Caring Recognition Program?
The Champions of Caring Recognition Program provides
high school students with an opportunity to celebrate and be
celebrated for their service to the community. Each May at Drexel University the Recognition Ceremony brings together hundreds of people
from all over the greater Philadelphia region to honor teens
for making a difference.
Who can be a Champion?
Students in grades 8-12 from throughout the greater Philadelphia region who
have committed themselves to improving our community and who
complete the application process are eligible.
