This Congressional recognition is reserved for students who have completed up to 100 hours in the areas of public service, physical fitness, and personal development.A full list of winners can be viewed here.“The Congressional Award Program not only encourages public service, it fosters a sense of civic duty and good citizenship," said Rep. Royce. "Congressional Award winners often go on to become leaders in our community, and it's an honor to recognize these young people for their accomplishments."Established by Congress in 1979, the Congressional Award was created to honor young participants who have set, and achieved, personal goals driving service and individual development across the nation. There are no minimum grade point average requirements and the program accommodates youth with special needs and disabilities. In pursuit of the Congressional Award, over 49,000 students have performed more than 3.5 million volunteer hours. The CA-39 winners of the Award were presented with a Congressional Award certificate and medal by Rep. Royce during a reception he hosted in his Brea office.Additional details on the Congressional Award Program are available at http://congressionalaward.org and on Rep. Royce's website here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
