2024 Youth Hall of Fame
Call for Nominations

This year, the Greece Regional Chamber of Commerce will be celebrating the 34th Annual Youth Hall of Fame Awards. The program is an initiative of the Greece Regional Chamber of Commerce with key support from regional businesses and area schools. Induction into the Youth Hall of Fame is an annual award that honors outstanding 11th and 12th grade students. This program provides an opportunity to recognize young people who have demonstrated exceptional personal growth and development through their outstanding achievements and contributions to the community. Being nominated to receive this award carries great meaning to the nominees and their families.
