LOCK HAVEN — She’s gotten to see some of the most famous landmarks in the nation’s capital.
She’s gotten to visit congressional representatives on Capitol Hill.
She even met Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York.
But surely the highlight of Kristin Brandt’s trip to Washington, D.C. this week was being named one of the top 10 youth volunteers in the nation in the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards.
“I’m shocked to be getting this award because there are so many other amazing people here,” Brandt said by phone, just minutes after being recognized.
“I couldn’t have done this without the community’s help,” she added. “I want to thank everyone who helped me.”
Brandt’s “Homes for Hope” project earned her a spot in February as the top high school youth volunteer in the state in the Prudential competition.
