In order to encourage AYLUS members across all the AYLUS branches to share their volunteer experiences, the AYLUS national board hosted a national essay contest, which is due on November 30th, 2022. The Great Princeton Branch of AYLUS sponsored the contest by providing $1,000 award to the winners.
All the essays submitted will be reviewed and judged by experienced high school English/History teachers and award certificates will be issued to all winners and the outstanding AYLUS branches. All winning essays will be published on The AYLUS TIMES. Top three winners will also receive scholarships.
AYLUS Pearland members actively participated in this contest. Some of the volunteers wrote brand new essays, while others edited and modified their essays submitted in last month’s AYLUS Pearland essay submission.
