Farmingville, NY – Brookhaven Town Supervisor Mark Lesko has announced that the Town of Brookhaven’s Youth Bureau and the Brookhaven Youth Board are seeking nominations for individuals and groups who deserve recognition for volunteer work with Brookhaven’s young people. The honorees will be recognized at the Bureau’s 32nd Annual Volunteer Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, May 9 at Town Hall.

“For over 30 years, the Youth Bureau has recognized hundreds of individuals and groups for their efforts to assist the youth in our community,” said Supervisor Lesko. “This year’s honorees will join a prestigious group of volunteers who have made a significant impact and improved the quality of life for so many young people.”

“Volunteers work tirelessly with our youth throughout the year, without asking for anything in return. The Youth Bureau Volunteer Awards are a fitting way to recognize their community service and all they do for the young people of our Town,” said Deputy Supervisor / Councilwoman Kathleen Walsh.

If you know someone who you believe should be recognized for his or her efforts, either individually or as a group, please call or write to the Youth Bureau for a nomination form.
