Excellence in Direct Service Award

Honoring Excellence

The Excellence in Direct Service Award recognizes an employee (not a manager or executive level staff) of a program funded by The Children's Trust whose primary duties are to provide direct service to children and families and has done so in an exemplary fashion. The honoree is an inspiration to their co-workers and consistently performs above and beyond their job duties to serve the children and families of Miami-Dade. In specific, identifiable circumstances on various occasions, the nominee has shown a willingness to perform duties and responsibilities beyond what is required in their position. They exemplify the belief that the human element makes a difference in the lives of others and recognizes that the human touch must be extended far beyond the confines of a standard workday.
