lunch. Katherine considered the “nutritional gap” affecting
students during the summer months and proposed “Sow
More, Grow More,” an initiative to increase food donations
to local farmers. In its initial year, “Sow More, Grow More”
operated for the full growing season, 23 weeks, and
generated over 600 pounds of fresh produce. Katherine
received the Prudential Spirit of Community Award and
President Obama’s Volunteer Service Award. Katherine

ELIZABETH
STILES
Our Lady of Mercy Academy
Woodbury, New York
Four years ago, Elizabeth began assisting her neighbor with
childcare. One of her neighbor’s three children had been a victim
of pediatric cancer, and Elizabeth’s help enabled her neighbor
to focus more on work, fundraisers, and blood drives. This led
Elizabeth to found Helping Hand Babysitting, a not-for-profit
organization comprised of teenage babysitters. She held a schoolwide assembly to publicize her efforts and recruit volunteers.
Elizabeth organized a CPR certification course allowing 100 of
Helping Hand sitters to become certified. In the organization’s first
year, they logged over 200 hours of service. Elizabeth has been
featured in Newsday’s “Way to Go” column and Verizon Fios 1
has covered the program in a television segment. Elizabeth is also
