Help name the next Emerging Humanitarian for 2010
Qualification
- Up to age 20
- Making a positive impact in the community, standing against injustice and/or overcoming great personal challenge.

Every day we work with youth in our community who are making positive change all around them. Little by little, these individuals are overcoming great barriers, standing up to indifference, and building safer, more inclusive communities. The Inclusion Center believes that young people of this caliber are the embodiment of a better future, a reason for hope, and respect to all youth in our lives. That is why we are now accepting nominations for the Inclusion Center’s Emerging Humanitarian Award, to be honored at the 43rd Annual Humanitarian Awards dinner. The winner will receive an Award signifying their accomplishment as well as a $500.00 scholarship to be used for their education.

If you would like to nominate an emerging humanitarian in your work or life, please simply send us a short outline of their accomplishments, leadership or personal story, their name, age, and contact information. We are accepting nominations until February 5th, 2010. Send submissions to Saundra at info@inclusioncenter.org

Definition of inclusion: Our logo, a Möbius strip which is a unique object that has only one side and one edge. To us, the Möbius represents inclusion by allowing an individual to preserve their personal identity while being part of a larger whole — the community. Like the Möbius, we often appear to be vastly different in our opinions or traditions, or on two opposite “sides.” In the end however, we share our common humanity,and find we can work together to build respectful and safe communities, thus remaining on the same side. Inclusion is acknowledging and honoring our individuality, while moving towards unity.
