The goal of the program is to celebrate teens for their positive accomplishments and showcase the many ways in which they contribute to the success of their community.
“Celebrating the contributions of young people is particularly meaningful this year as we are transitioning out of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Public Defender Randy Mize said. “We are confident there are many untold stories of youth demonstrating courage, spirit and unparalleled tenacity and we hope to hear some of those stories in the community nominations we receive for the Most Remarkable Teens 2021.”
