Character counts here.
River Valley Rising Youth is a monthly recognition program created by River Valley Youth Foundation to honor young people who are making a positive impact in their schools, teams, churches, and communities.

- Shows kindness to others
- Leads by example
- Overcomes challenges
- Serves their community
- Encourages those around them
- Demonstrates outstanding character
