Make a Difference by Nominating Someone Who Has

You’re never too young to make a difference in your community. Whether you’re a parent, aunt, uncle, teacher or anyone else, you probably know a young woman in Albuquerque who displays a tremendous amount of compassion, charity, and a sense of community on a daily basis.

Here in Albuquerque, there are a lot of companies and organizations that support youth service and charity, such as ABQ Journal’s SAGE Magazine, the Coronado Center, and the National Hispanic Cultural Center. And all of these organizations are teaming up this month to gather nominations for the 2014 SAGE Making a Difference award.

So if you know a particularly committed young woman here in ABQ, submit them for consideration! Here’s some more information on how to apply, from the ABQ Journal website:

Applications must include:
  • A nomination letter, about 300 words. Letter can be from a teacher, adviser, relative — someone who can describe how the young woman is making a difference.
  • An essay, about 500 words, written by the nominee about what she’s doing to make a difference and why. Submit applications by mail or online at ABQjournal.com/sage by March 5. 

Mail to Making a Difference, Sage Magazine, Albuquerque Journal, 7777 Jefferson NE, Albuquerque, NM 87109. Call 823-3870 for more information.

Remember, the contest opens Feb. 2. The deadline for all materials is March 5.
