'Share The Advantage' wins Public Service Award

-

Southwestern Advantage was honored for Public Service last night by the Public Relations Society of America – Nashville Chapter. The Parthenon Award was won for the Share the Advantage Program in 2015. For three out of four years, Southwestern Advantage has won this category for efforts to help young people who are at risk all over the world (2012. 2014, 2015).

The Southwestern Advantage Student Reps have really embraced the concept of being service-minded. From helping orphans, revitalizing schools and daycares, working with special needs organizations, donating our books and website subscriptions, raising over $62,000 to build a gifted home in Mexico, raising $7,000 for an injured dealer, and so much more, these young people do it all. We are very proud to work with some of the finest college and university students from the US, Canada, and all across Europe.

What attitude would you like to have someday? The attitude you have now is a good indication of the attitude you will have someday, unless right now you begin to develop a new ...
