The Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth (AWRSAY) was created in 2001 by volunteers who wanted a program that recognizes youth who have overcome a major obstacle or adversity. Unlike other programs, AWRSAY seeks to recognize these deserving youth by providing recognition, programs and in the case of seniors, scholarships to
Red Rocks Community College. Since our inception we have recognized 597 youth and provided over 215 college scholarships. Our mission is to provide ongoing recognition, educational and leadership opportunities for Arvada and Wheat Ridge teens who have overcome adversity. Our vision is that all Arvada and Wheat Ridge teens will recognize, act on, and realize their potential to succeed. Help us help our teens;
nominate a deserving teen, or support
AWRSAY through funding, mentoring, or employment.
