Awards
Every year, Yorkville honors members of our community who have proven to be positive examples for our children, and for us all. These are our volunteers, staff members, and young people. The awards they receive are bestowed on them in honor of those who have come before us and have lived the mission of Yorkville.
These are the Yorkville Honorees.
