The team was recognized for their youth
workforce/career exploration projects with teens in Knox and surrounding
counties through programs such as Knox County 4-H and Career Day 2012. The goal of
the Search for Excellence in Teen Programming Award is to provide recognition
for outstanding programs conducted for and with teen audiences, gain national
recognition for program accomplishments relative to scholarly and creative
activities, teaching, and/or research effectiveness and to show evidence or
collaboration with others who help meet community teens' needs and to
strengthen the commitment to programs with teen audiences.
