League of Women Voters
Annual Youth Leadership Award

The League of Women Voters of Lawrence Township (LWVLT), part of the national and state League of Women Voters organization, is pleased to offer its Annual Youth Leadership Award for 2024. The LWVLT will award up to $500 to a student or students who exemplify civic leadership in their community. The Lawrence LWV primarily serves Lawrence, Trenton, and Ewing with voter advocacy, voter education and voter services. High school students from these three districts are eligible to be considered.

“We are looking forward to presenting our youth leadership award again this year. Thanks to the generosity of our members and community, we are able to award two $500 awards in 2024. Our past student awardees have been remarkable in their youthful achievements. Our League continues to be impressed by the leadership and civic action taken by area students on behalf of their peers and their communities," says LWVLT Co-Chair Katharine Schumacher.

"Our goal is to celebrate youth leaders who are stepping up to lead under always challenging circumstances. The League is here to support, applaud, and promote our next generation of civic leaders. If there are members of the community who want to support this scholarship fund, anyone can make a tax-deductible contribution to the LWVLT Youth Leadership Award fund. All proceeds go directly to the students.”

The Symbolic Re-enactment of the Passing the Torch Ceremony on Sunday, August 23, 2020 at the Lumberville/Raven Rock Pedestrian Bridge on the NJ/PA state line was a great success. The centennial observance of winning the long fight for women's suffrage was the brainchild of Ellen Maak.
