Belmont, NY – The Allegany County Democratic Committee is pleased to announce that Serin Al-Fadhali, a junior at Alfred-Almond Central School, has been named the winner of its second annual Student Civic Engagement Award. An award reception will take place at the Alfred Station Seventh Day Baptist Church on Sunday, May 31st at 12:30 p.m., and is open to all.
This award seeks to recognize Allegany County students in grades 11 and 12 for the ways in which they contribute to community life. It is a monetary award of $500.00 unrelated to academic performance. It is not a scholarship and need not be applied to the cost of secondary education.
Karen Ash, Chair of the Allegany County Democratic Committee, says, “This award is a gift, one that celebrates the spirit of community service in our youth, promotes civic betterment, and shines a light on our Committee’s values of social and economic justice, equality, diversity, and helping the less fortunate among us.”
Serin’s volunteer activities are wide-ranging, including serving in the youth volunteer program at the Alfred Farmers Market and as part of a team of gardening and planting volunteers at the Alfred State Farm. She also participates in community food distribution events, and volunteers at the Alfred-Almond Elementary school, particularly for STEM Night and science fairs.
Serin says, “Through volunteer work, I’ve seen how compassion and service build stronger, more supportive communities. I hope to continue serving, learning, and creating a more understanding and just society for everyone.”
