Many people volunteer their time to help others, either through non-profit organizations, churches, or other charitable venues. Write an essay to convince others to find a charity and volunteer their time.

Wildewood Downs Members who made up the judging panel selected the essay topic. The Silver Pen Writing Competition is an essay competition that Wildewood Downs’ parent company, The Maxwell Group, started in 2012 to bridge the communication gap between high school seniors and community Members. Each participant submitted a written essay with a minimum of 1,000 words. Over the last ten years, they have awarded over $442,250 to high school seniors to help them with tuition costs.
