New York State Congressman Joe Crowley (14^th Congressional District: Queens and Bronx) presented the awards.  The recipients were from all around the State of New York and ranged in age from 14 to 24 years. The young adults who earned these awards worked hard in their communities on projects and spent many hours volunteering in their communities. The goal for the Congressional Youth Award Program is to help guide young people to become caring and model citizens.
