The North Reading Community Impact Team’s Youth Substance Use Prevention Coalition is now accepting nominations for the 2015 Trusted Adult Award. Youth Services Director Amy Luckiewicz explained, “As our coalition looks at substance use prevention we cannot underestimate the impact adults have on shaping young people. Adults should be encouraged to be open and available to the Town’s youth and know that they can really make a difference by listening and engaging with youth. This award is to recognize those individuals who kids see as a go-to person in their lives.” Any individual living or working of the Town of North Reading, of adult age, is eligible. Organizations may not be nominated. Youth of any age through high school may nominate an adult by completing the 2015 Trusted Adult Award Nomination Form and submit it to the Community Impact Team by the Friday, July 10, 2015. Up to 3 winners will be selected based on the nomination form. Winners will be presented with a 2015 Star Award at this year’s National Night Out held on August 4th at Ipswich River Park.
