Most students are selected based on academic achievement and leadership qualities. They are challenged to become a “speaker’s bureau” utilizing Moose Kids Talks. Each participant selects a topic and develops a presentation around that topic, educating young people to make wise decisions in life. They are then responsible for finding opportunities to speak to groups of 4 to 9-year-olds children in elementary schools, scouting units, Sunday School classes, Boy’s and Girl’s Clubs and YMCA youth programs just to name a few. Each student is asked to do three or more Moose Kids Talks from the end of the Association Student Congress through January 30, 2022. They are also asked to complete written reports on these presentations. After the student submits their (3) reports, the California/Nevada Moose Association will award them with a $50.00 Visa Card as a thank you and at the same time they will earn Community Service Credit for doing this most worthwhile community service program. This is an excellent experience for their resume. Out of those students, finalists are selected by their peers in southern California to receive $100.00 from the Moose Empire District #19, $500.00 from the California/Nevada Moose Riders, and all-expenses paid, round trip to attend the International Youth Awareness Congress in Orlando, Florida, April 28 – May 2, 2022. Five Students will then be selected by their peers to receive one of five scholarships awarded to any college of their choice, the awards are: $12,000, $8,000, $5,000, $3,000 and $2,000.
