Pramerica Spirit of
Community Awards
Why not recognise and reward the volunteer work
of your students through our Awards programme.
The Pramerica Spirit of
Community Awards programme recognises and rewards post-primary/second-level
students for volunteer work carried out in their communities, through an
exciting initiative that provides recognition and generous financial rewards to
the finalists.
The Pramerica Spirit of Community Awards is sponsored by
Pramerica Systems Ireland Limited, a Prudential Financial Inc. (PFI) company,
in partnership with the National Association of Principals & Deputy
Principals (NAPD) and the General Teaching Council for Northern Ireland
(GTCNI). The programme is supported by notable organisations such as
Volunteer Now, Volunteer Ireland Foroige and Scouting Ireland.
This Pramerica Spirit of Community Awards programme was launched
on an all-Ireland basis in 2006. Since then the programme has honoured more
than 2000 outstanding volunteers from over 300 schools across Ireland.
It has elicited praise from educators, parents, elected officials and news
media for communicating to young people the importance of volunteer service in
their communities. Among the prominent personalities who have
participated in the programme are Bertie Ahern, John Hume, Caitriona Ruane,
Mickey Harte, Declan Kidney, John Lonergan, David Coleman, Martin O’Neill,
Brent Pope and Niall Breslin (Bressie).
Information packs and instructions to apply for the Spirit of
Community Awards are circulated to schools annually in early September.
