On Thursday, April 22, 2010, Youth Design attended the Civies award ceremony at Blackman Auditorium at Northeastern University, presented by the Young Civic Leaders program of Mass Vote. Civie recipients are nominated by members of the community, for their work in various fields of youth leadership and youth development in the city of Boston.
YD received the Arts Civie, as an organization that makes a difference in the lives of youth in the community. Youth Design was previously nominated in 2009, and is delighted to be honored alongside other Civie 2010 winners such as: Senator Sonia Chang-Díaz; Sociedad Latina, Beantown Society, and Boston Community Center for Justice.
Former Youth Design student Lisa Wang is a member of the Young Civic Leaders program and presented the award to Youth Design Founder Denise Korn and Director of Operations Tara Oremus.
