More on: multiplying good & the Jefferson awards
Multiplying Good is a national nonprofit focused on supporting public service and giving recognition to those who complete community service. Founded in 1972 by Jackie Kennedy (yep, that Jackie Kennedy), Senator Robert Taft Jr., and Sam Beard, the organization honors and recognizes top public servants for their contributions. Receiving a Jefferson Award is often synonymous with receiving a Nobel Peace Prize - only for community service.
Students in Action sprang from Multiplying Good and the Jefferson Awards foundation in order to inspire middle and high schools to teach community service to their children, in order to create a better world.
Every year, the Multiplying Good foundation awards Jefferson Awards to people across the country who demonstrate excellence in public service, according to a multitude of categories. These changemakers receive their award in the hopes that they will be inspired to continue their efforts towards bettering the community, and that others will see the positive rewards to community service and help out. Multiplying Good also gives out an annual award to the best Students in Action team. (Psst. In 2019, we received the award for the best Ambassador-Level school. In case you didn't already know.)

Jefferson Awards banquet
