The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, a nationwide program honoring young people for outstanding acts of voluntarism, has announced Utah's top two youth volunteers for 2006.

Bradley Jencks, 15, of South Jordan Middle School, and Lauren Hillman, 13, of Lakeridge Junior High School in Orem, will receive $1,000, an engraved silver medallion and an all-expense-paid trip in early May to Washington, D.C.

In Washington they will join the top two honorees from each state for several days of national recognition events.

Ten of them will be named America's top youth volunteers for 2006 at that time.
