Do you know an unsung hero in our county who works with great passion and dedication to improve the lives of our youngest children from birth to age 5?

February 21, 2018 - First 5 of Mariposa County is pleased to announce that we are now taking nominations for the 2018 “Hands-on Heroes” awards.

These awards recognize exceptional individuals who positively impact children’s lives.

 Hands-on Heroes work tirelessly, overcome adversity and everyday challenges, and are seldom acknowledged for their work.

They could be aides in the classroom, janitors, teachers, family advocates, health workers, or volunteers in programs that benefit our youngest residents in Mariposa County.

We invite you to nominate someone who’s proven to be a champion for children-- and help us celebrate their contributions to our community! Nominations are due by March 30, 2018.
