Recognize a “Junior Citizen” 
Nominations are open to select an outstanding student to be honored as “Junior Citizen of the Year” by the Chehalem Valley Chamber of Commerce. This award recognizes a student in grade 8 – 12 who has made outstanding contributions to the community.

To be considered for the Junior Citizen of the Year Award, the nominee must have a minimum “C” grade point average and demonstrate outstanding citizenship. The nominee’s achievement should be something that contributes to the betterment of the community, sets an example or encourages participation of others. Recognition may be given to service that is continuing or associated with a one-time project of significance to the community.
