Nominate teens for recognition 

Broomfield Health and Human Services (HHS) is accepting nominations for the Metropolitan Mayors and Commissioners Youth Award (MMCYA) to recognize teenagers who have overcome personal adversity and created positive change in their lives. Deadline for nominations is Monday, Dec. 31.  

To obtain a nomination form or for further information, contact Colleen Girard at 720.887.2201.  

Broomfield has participated with Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Gilpin and Jefferson Counties in the Metropolitan Mayors and Commissioners Youth Award (MMCYA) since its inception in 1986.  The awards recognize teenagers who have overcome personal adversity through service to self, family, school and/or their community.  This program offers youth the opportunity to be recognized as valued and contributing members of their community. 

Business, community and civic leaders are asked to nominate a young person to demonstrate support for the young people living in Broomfield, and focus on positive young people who serve as role models to young and old alike. Anyone who knows a young person who meets the criteria is encouraged to nominate them.   

Nominees will be recognized at the local level.  Their nominations are also forwarded for regional consideration where they may also be recognized.
