Do the Right Thing Award Program, established in 1995, is a commendable initiative by the Rochester Police Department in Rochester, NY. The program aims to foster positive relationships between local law enforcement and youth in the community by recognizing and celebrating the bravery, courage, and valor of school-aged children. It honors students who make good choices, excel academically, contribute to their community, demonstrate leadership, or show significant behavioral improvement.
Eligible for nomination are students enrolled in grades kindergarten-12 in any Monroe County school, with nominations accepted throughout the year. An awards committee reviews the nominations and selects recipients for the Do the Right Thing Award or a letter of recognition. The program also offers college or trade school scholarships to high school seniors who have received the award. Do the Right Thing Award Program relies on the support of sponsors, donations, and volunteers to continue its mission of recognizing and encouraging the positive actions of young individuals.
