Community Champion Awards 2023

The Community Champion Awards is an awards program sponsored by the Dublin Chamber Civic Foundation and Dublin City Schools that honors students and staff of the Dublin City School District. These awards aim to nurture young citizens who engage in society through leadership and service, and honor students and staff of Dublin City Schools who exemplify the best of volunteerism, character, leadership, and a sense of caring and responsibility for others. These are individuals who go above and beyond and exemplify what it means to be a good role model for the community.
