Short Description

Youth Service America is pleased to launch the first annual Gladys Marinelli Coccia Awards to recognize two young female social entrepreneurs, ages 14 to 17, whose initiatives serve the common good. The awards are created in memory of Gladys Coccia, who began her entrepreneurial career when she was a young girl in West Virginia and later became a very successful businesswoman in Washington, DC.  The winners will receive $2,000 each for her social enterprise, travel to and registration at YSA's Youth Service Institute, an invitation to serve on the executive board of Girls Helping Girls, and access to YSA's resources to support and expand social enterprise.
