25
Most Remarkable Teens in San Diego
Today’s youth are tomorrow's civic, political, spiritual, and
economic leaders, heads of households, drivers of economic growth, and
community renewal. The 25 Most Remarkable Teens in San Diego Program
by the Office of the Primary Public Defender endeavors to increase
youth pride, and a feeling of connectivity to the community, while
identifying the untapped potential so they can ultimately make
positive and informed life choices.
Presentations to the award recipients will be held in November of
each year, wherein honorees will be recognized by elected officials in
the presence of parents, nominators, school administrators, and
community leaders.
