Skinker DeBaliviere in St. Louis has won the 1984 Community Betterment Youth Participation Award in the neighborhood category.
The award was presented by Governor Christopher S. Bond during the 21st Annual Missouri Community Betterment Conference held at the Lodge of the Four Seasons at Lake of the Ozarks. About 60 communities and neighborhoods participated in the awards competition.
The Missouri Community Betterment Program is designed to encourage local projects that will make a community or neighborhood more attractive to economic development and provide a better quality of life for its citizens.
The Youth Program of Missouri Community Betterment encourages local MCB programs to include representation and participation by a community’s youth.
The Youth Participation Award is presented to the community with the youth group best meeting the criteria of involvement, participation and actual achievement in local MCB projects.
Each year, communities and neighborhoods submit evidence of projects undertaken during the year.
An impartial team of judges evaluates the materials by comparing them to projects submitted by communities of similar size.
The awards banquet, held every fall, recognizes the outstanding community development efforts in each of seven population categories, as well as outstanding community leaders.
