United Voices for Children (UVC) is inviting nominations for its three annual awards. These UVC Awards honor extraordinary volunteer service or advocacy efforts on behalf of children, youth and/or families throughout the Northern Illinois Conference.

All United Methodists are encouraged to look around at who is doing this good work in your church or community. Then nominate an individual or a group who deserves this recognition.

A detailed description of these awards plus information on past award winners is available by clicking here. You can also download a nominations form there.

The deadline for receiving nominations is April 5, 2019. The chosen awardees will be honored during the Northern Illinois Annual Conference in June. Direct any questions to unitedvoicesforchildren@gmail.com.
