The Benham Award is made to recognize professionals who are doing exceptional work on behalf of or alongside young people. Nominate an outstanding teacher, camp counselor, school guidance counselor, youth mental health counselor, or anyone you would like to recognize for their outstanding work with youth 25 and under. Professionals in fields of academia, domestic violence, juvenile justice, social work, counseling and more have been awarded year's prior.
The Benham Awards were created in homage to Sheri Benham, the founder of Stepping Stones. As a foster parent and MSW student, Sheri saw a gap in services for youth in our community. Founded in 2004, and now 13 years later, our agency continues to serve homeless youth in our region. Sheri is truly a champion to youth.
Two nominees will be chosen to receive the award at our annual Step Up event on April 20th. The event will be held at Upland Brewing in Bloomington, IN from 6pm-8pm. More information can be found on our website: www.steppingstones-inc.org/stepup/
