Parade's 2010 All-America Service Team

  For the first time, PARADE has partnered with the national youth-service organization The LEAGUE to honor—with special recognition by the U.S. Department of Education—high school students who are changing their communities through service. We invited PARADE readers to nominate students in five categories: economics, the environment, education, community, and health. Later this month, the 15 winners will be honored at a special ceremony in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the ING Foundation. “Their entrepreneurial spirit is inspiring,” says Education Secretary Arne Duncan. “These young people are our future leaders."
