The Boys and Girls Club of Martin County presented ten Martin County School District seniors with CHARACTER COUNTS! Joe Kordick Youth Character Awards.
The Joe Kordick Youth Character Awards are named in honor of the late Joe Kordick, founding chairman and the driving force of CHARACTER COUNTS! in Martin County. He believed that character development starts at home, but he also felt strongly that by bringing parents, teachers, community leaders, and businesses together, everyone could teach young people to be responsible and live with integrity.
The award recipients are chosen based on their character and how they demonstrate the six pillars of CHARACTER COUNTS!: trustworthiness, responsibility, respect, fairness, caring and citizenship. Part of the award includes a $1,000 check to help the recipients pursue the next step of their life.
