Human Rights Youth Heroism Awards – Nominations Open until May 15

The Amherst Human Rights Commission’s prime purpose is to promote a community of mutual respect and to honor our diversity. To this end, we offer annual Human Rights Youth Heroism Awards, celebrating Amherst-area youth. These awards celebrate local youth who demonstrate acts of kindness, unselfishness, social courage and/or community service within their families, schools or community. We recognize youth who live in or attend any school in town.
