Peyton Gomez, Covenant High School Senior, has been named one of the top runners-up in The 2019 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards in Washington! As a result, Peyton will receive an engraved bronze Distinguished Finalist medallion to commemorate this prestigious award.

Beginning in 1995, the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards represents the United States’ largest youth recognition program based solely on volunteer service.

Peyton volunteers her time as a front desk assistant at American Lake Veteran’s Golf Course, a volunteer-run organization that offers a rehabilitation and recreational outlet for veterans. Peyton also connected the organization with a local technical college to create promotional videos to spread awareness about the cause, and regularly works with veterans who visit the course to help them with their technology-related questions.

Because of her outstanding service, Peyton has also qualified for the President’s Volunteer Service Award. This award recognizes Americans of all ages who have volunteered significant amounts of their time to serve their communities and their country.

Congratulations, Peyton! The way you actively serve your community does not go unnoticed.
