"Four years ago, as a shy freshman, Sidney J'15 eagerly accepted the task to establish a teen exploratory board to consider the need and interest of creating a unique cultural competency program for our community.
Because of her dedication, insight and determination, Oklahoma City now has one of the only programs in the Midwest to inspire and mobilize youth leaders to reflect upon their values and beliefs, connect with others across differences, and act together to address local and global challenges.

Senior Emily F. earns the highest Camp Fire Honor and a service scholarship from Troop 193 of $1250 from Mr. Steve Mason
The Wohelo Award is the highest honor a youth member of Camp Fire may earn. A symbol of personal growth, it is an intensive project designed by each individual. Horizon Youth who complete the requirements demonstrate leadership, self-confidence, respect for others, organizational skills, and the desire and ability to make a difference in the world. Only about 200 youth in the nation earn the Wohelo Award each year.
To earn the award, Emily completed four reflections from the New Horizons high school program book and read Wohelo: The History of Camp Fire.
The three issues of importance Emily chose for her Wohelo were:
a. Service to Camp Fire
b. Encouraging Youth in Tennis
3. Mission work through her Church Youth Group
Emily plans to attend Harding University to play tennis on scholarship and major in Kinesiology.

Shannon is the Teen Leadership Initiatives Coordinator for the YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City. She directs five programs that address the needs of helping at risk teens go to college, as well as a cultural competency program to help bring together teens from diverse backgrounds to connect with each other, reflect on their similarities and differences and act in the community to make social change.
Shannon holds bachelors degrees in Communications and Spanish from the University of Kansas and has a masters degree in Urban Education from the University of Southern California. Shannon shared her personal volunteering experience, which turned into a career, and motivated Cyclones to find their passion to help the community. Shannon closed her remarks with a quote by Sherry Anderson, "Volunteers are not paid. Not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless."
Father Blizzard and Mrs. Clay delivered the Presidential bronze pins. The bronze pins recognize students 14 years old or younger who have volunteered for 50 to 74 hours and Young Adults, 15 to 21 years old, who volunteered for 100 to 174 hours.

Jessica Greene: ICS Teen Volunteer of the Year
The Infant Crisis Center recently named Casady School rising junior Jessica Green as the organization’s “Teen of the Year."
The award is given to a teen between the ages of 13-19 who has given a significant contribution of time and effort to Infant Crisis Services and its mission.
Infant Crisis Services Teen Volunteer Award
Jessica Greene is such an amazing young lady. She has volunteered in the Summer Teen Program at infant Crisis Services for two years rocking babies in the playroom and assisting in the HUB stocking formula and diapers. She has also served two years on the Teen Board. She is a fearless leader and committed to Infant Crisis Services. She is unafraid of responsibility and took her job as the Treasurer and Chair for the donations committee very seriously. She kept the donations from our teen board of 36 members, who all had to secure at least 6 auction items a piece, on track and organized. She especially made my job easier by her work ethic and commitment and follow through with her responsibilities on the Teen Board. Jessica also is a mentor to new members of the teen board so they feel connected when they are invited to join our board. She has single handedly secured more than $8,000 in sponsorships and thousands of dollars in goods to be auctioned off at the Teen Associate Board charity auction and dinner which yielded more than $75,000 this year that will ultimately feed and diaper needy babies in her community. She leads by example. I am so proud of this young lady and her leadership. This is a young woman to watch. I expect to see great things from her! Excellent Work Jessica!

a. Aubrey H. & Dylan D., YAC Co-Presidents, c. Allison T., Chinese Club President and "Half the Sky, One Sky for all children" project chair, benefiting Chinese orphans.
Noble Hours Award 1,000+ hours of service in 4 years: Aubrey H.

Aubrey H. opened her eyes, mind, and heart to surrounding community needs and engaged in compassionate deeds; joyfully investing time to move them forward without expecting anything in return." For her continuous acts of kindness, serving over 1,000 hours during her 4 years in high school, an equivalent of a minimum of 250 service hours per year, Aubrey is receiving the Casady Service-Learning Program, “Noble Hours Award”. Aubrey is the second recipient of this award since the inception of the requirement starting with the Class of 2004.
Aubrey received an engraved silver clock, which she will keep. A solar powered spinning globe with Aubrey's name and the name of the previous award recipient, Taylor Burrow, resides at Casady School at the Headmaster's Office to inspire others to emulate her example of being an entrepreneur of hope for peace through acts of honor, kindness, compassion, and service, the Oklahoma Standard!”

First "Tea Time with Service Learning" Honoring PSA winners and sharing YAC and Service Learning
Volunteers help drive our country's progress, and day in and day out, they make extraordinary sacrifices to expand promise and possibility. During National Volunteer Week, let us shed the cynicism that says one person cannot make a difference in the lives of others by embracing each of our individual responsibilities to serve and shape a brighter future for all.

The first Noble Hours Award was delivered by Dr. Jon Powell, Casady School Principal and Mrs. Carmen Clay, Director of Service-Learning to Taylor B'15 at the Casady UD awards chapel assembly on May 22, 2015. The criteria for the inaugural Nobel Hours Award was set by the recipient, Taylor B.'15, who was the first Cyclone to serve over 1,000 hours in 4 years in high school, the equivalent of more than 250 hours per year.
Research proves that by serving the needs of others, a person finds happiness. Taylor opened eyes to the surrounding needs and engaged in compassionate deeds; joyfully investing time to move them forward without expecting anything in return.
The unexpected outcome of Taylor's compassion and altruism was the institution of the first service-learning program award in the history of the requirement, the NOBLE HOURS AWARD.

-Youth LEAD OKC: -Founder Recognition-
- YMCA Youth Initiatives - Youth LEAD OKC
Delivered by Dr.Jon Powell, UD Director and Mrs. Carmen Clay, YLOKC Mentor on behalf of Shannon Presti, YMCA Teen Initiatives Director and YLOKC, CEO
"Four years ago, as a shy freshman, Sidney J'15 eagerly accepted the task to establish a teen exploratory board to consider the need and interest of creating a unique cultural competency program for our community. Because of her dedication, insight and determination, Oklahoma City now has one of the only programs in the Midwest to inspire and mobilize youth leaders to reflect upon their values and beliefs, connect with others across differences, and act together to address local and global challenges.
This unique program is called Youth LEAD (Leaders Engaging Across Differences) and literally only exists because of Sidney and three other students, Sam K.'15 (Heritage Hall), Dane N. (Douglas High School) and Sireene K. (Mercy School/Edmond Santa Fe), from across our city.
Establishing a program based on ideas that are generated, executed and completely led by youth is a difficult task. Sidney stuck through the challenging times when it seemed like the program would remain a simple idea instead of becoming the multifaceted program that it is today. She continued to recruit other students to help launch the program when other teens dropped off from the planning team because it required a lot of time, effort and critical thinking. Her steadfast attitude even kept the adult directors motivated to see the program through during the most difficult times when it seemed we would not find local funding or support.
After four years of hard work and commitment, Youth LEAD is now a robust program of students from many diverse Oklahoma City metro high schools, representing a multitude of races, religions, beliefs and interests. Sidney thrives in the group and gets along well with any teenager that joins. Thanks to the YLOKC founding teens caring nature and dedication to diversity, Oklahoma City has a premier cultural competency and diversity education program that will enhance youth and their ideals for generations to come."

After the chapel service, award receipients collected their certificates and letters from the President from the Wing Student Center.
