The St. George Award of the Episcopal Church is a national
recognition to acknowledge distinguished service by an adult in the
spiritual, physical, mental, and moral development of youth through
service to the Church and through national youth agency programs. The
award may be presented to any adult, including laypersons, ordained
persons, professional church workers, men and women who are active in
their church and in one or more of the national youth agencies.
