For commitment to the well-being, growth and development of youth.
Named for the acclaimed photographer who documented early twentieth century exploitation of child labor, the Lewis Hine Awards for Service to Children and Youth are bestowed annually to ten relatively unknown men and women for their efforts on behalf of the health, education, and welfare of children and youth, particularly those at risk.
The Lewis Hine Awards are given to unheralded professionals and volunteers who devote extraordinary time and energy to improving the lives of young people. The recipients, who come from many walks of life and from across the United States, are selected by a panel of distinguished judges from nominations submitted by elected officials and community leaders.
