"Despite the pandemic these youth worked and volunteered, set goals, and turned those goals into reality. They put everything behind their wish or goal and have earned what very few have, a Bronze, Silver, or Gold Congressional Award medal," said Pat Thomas, WCAC Board President. 

2022 Wyoming State Medal Ceremony
The Congressional Award. Earned. Not given. 

CHEYENNE, Wyoming: On Sunday, April 3, 2022, at 10 a.m. at the Cheyenne Civic Center, the Wyoming Congressional Award Council held its annual state award ceremony to honor youth from across Wyoming who have earned Congressional Award medals. Senators John Barrasso M.D., and Cynthia Lummis, presented to the youth who were approved to receive medals this year. The Congressional Award was established by The United States Congress in 1979 to recognize initiative, service, and achievement in young people ages 13.5 – 23.

 

Harris Tanner, Gold Medalist, a junior at Rawlins High School says “While working on my voluntary public service goal, I spent a lot of time with the elderly women in my community. As I spent more and more time with them, I developed relationships with them that I will never lose and am forever grateful for. Being able to have those friends in my community and looking out for them truly changed me and made me much more selfless and taught me so much. Being a part of this program made me a more caring, driven, and motivated individual.”

 

To earn a Congressional Award medal, participants must meet certain requirements in four programs areas, including 100-400 hours of voluntary public service over a seven-to-twenty-four-month period.
