The goal of the Michigan NENA Young Hero committee is to recognize a child 12 years of age or younger at the time of the call. 

In the past we have focused on the child who has saved a life and had a positive outcome.  

Our views have changed, in that, we want to promote 9-1-1 to children and recognize and encourage them for using the system to help others.  

Nominate your child callers.

The only requirements are:

• The event must have occurred between January 1, 2016 – March 1, 2017
• The child must be 12 years old or younger at the time of the call.
• The child must have dialed 9-1-1 to save a life, property or report a crime
• The event must have a positive outcome
• The family must consent to the nomination
• An audio of the call must be included in the nomination
• Nominations forms must be received by March 15, 2017
• If you aren’t sure if your child caller qualifies, submit your nomination form and let the committee decide.
