The directors of WAMBO are pleased to announce the inaugural winners of the Youth Ambassador Program to two Wallaceburg District Secondary School Grade 12 graduates.
“Congratulations to Miria Pelletier and Brock Yazbeck, 2017/2018 academic year WAMBO Youth Ambassadors,” WAMBO officials said in a press release.
Candidates were required to submit an essay describing the virtues of volunteering in the community and detailing the benefits it provides, both to the citizens of Wallaceburg and the applicant themselves.
The applications and essays were reviewed by an independent selection committee, unrelated to WAMBO’s Directors and Committee members, and their choices then submitted to the Board of Directors for publication.
Pelletier and Yazbeck each receive $1,500 towards their post-secondary educational costs.
Their awards will be presented on Saturday August, 11, 2018 on the main stage during WAMBO.
