The Jefferson Awards are presented on two levels: national and local. National winners represent a "Who's Who" of outstanding Americans. Local winners are "Unsung Heroes" — ordinary people who do extraordinary things without expectation of recognition. These winners come from our Media Partners, our Champions, and our Youth Service Initiative.
