The Cause

Calling All Teen Heroes! 

The Johnstown-Milliken Rotary Club is on the hunt for some truly awesome teens who've been making waves in our community. We're talking about the Teen Impact Awards!

Why? Because we believe in celebrating those young folks who show us what it means to be selfless, truthful, fair, friendly, and caring.

You Know Someone Like That? Nominate them for a Teen Impact Award! Here's your chance to spotlight a teen who's been putting their heart into making our community better.

The Big Event: We'll be rolling out the red carpet at a special banquet on April 30th, 2026, at Roosevelt High School. It's going to be a night of recognition, celebration, and probably some really cool speeches!

Nomination Rules:

  • Age:  They've got to be between 13-19 years old.

  • Schooling:  Currently in middle or high school, or home-schooled during the current school year.

  • Residency:  Living in or going to school in Johnstown or Milliken.

So, if you know a teen who's been a local superhero, get those nominations in! Let's give them the applause they deserve!
