Van Hollen Announces Public Service Awardees for Baltimore Region
Today, U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen announced the
Baltimore City and Baltimore County recipients of his 2018 Public Service
Award. The Van Hollen Public Service Award is designed to commend a high school
senior who has demonstrated a high level of commitment to community or public
service. Students who embody this commitment are dedicated to making a positive
change that will benefit their community, state, or nation. Senator Van Hollen
is announcing over 90 recipients throughout Maryland.
“Just as we
recognize students who perform well academically or athletically, students who
are committed to serving others deserve public recognition and commendation.
These students have each shown dedication to serving their communities, and I’m
proud to honor their work. I look forward to seeing the great things these
young men and women will accomplish in the years ahead,” said Senator Van
Hollen.

The Van Hollen Public Service
Award is awarded to students who display a deep sense of dedication to public
service, take meaningful personal initiative, and bring an innovative and fresh
approach to improving the lives of others. The Senator’s office invited local
schools to nominate students who embody these guidelines and nominated students
receive a Congressional Citation. The Van Hollen Public Service Awards program
was launched in 2004 when Senator Van Hollen served in the House of
Representatives and has since been expanded to encompass the entire state.
