                         HON. ELISE M. STEFANIK

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 14, 2018

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and honor 
Domonique Malcolm for being named a Distinguished Finalist in New York 
State by the 2018 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program, an 
annual honor conferred on the most impressive student volunteers in 
each state.
  Ms. Malcolm is being recognized for co-founding a nonprofit that led 
several mission trips to help an impoverished community in Jamaica, and 
for recently coordinating a trip that mobilized 29 volunteers to build 
two new houses and offer medical and dental support at a local clinic. 
Over the past four years, Ms. Malcolm has also helped provide the 
community with support, including groceries and computers for students.
  Created in 1995, the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards recognizes 
the critical importance and high value of contributions made by youth 
volunteers, and to inspire other young people to follow their example. 
Over the past 23 years, the program has become the nation's largest 
youth recognition effort based solely on community service, and has 
honored more than 120,000 young volunteers at the local, state and 
national levels.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District, I heartily applaud Ms. Malcolm 
for her commitment and dedication to serving others, and thank her for 
the positive impact she has made on many lives. Young volunteers like 
Ms. Malcolm are inspiring examples to all of us, and are among our 
brightest hopes for a better tomorrow.
