Are you passionate about serving your community and making it a better place to live and work? Do you regularly provide volunteer service to your community? If so, you deserve to be recognized for your commitment to volunteer service by becoming a Youth Service Advocate.

The Youth Service Advocate designation is reserved for exceptional youth who have devoted a certain number of hours to law-related volunteer service in a given year.

The Youth Service Advocate designation is an honor, and may be used on applications for college admission and scholarships, as well as on applications for other awards and honors. However, the designation is more than an honorary title. Youth Service Advocates are role models and, thus, become advocates for volunteer service, thereby empowering their peers – and even adults – to rise to the same level of service.

Designees will receive a certificate, verification letter and a back sack. In addition, an extraordinary applicant(s) will be chosen to receive an honorary designation during the annual Law Day celebration hosted by the New York State Court of Appeals.
