They're all around us: young folks who have accomplished much and are doing great things in their community.

It's time to recognize them. Spokane Talks Online and The Spokesman-Review are doing just that.

We're launching Youth Spotlight to feature the good deeds and accomplishments of our teens (and younger) in the Inland Northwest. There will be a monthly article and video story. The video story will be hosted by STO's youngest reporter, Collin Pittmann.

Collin has been doing weekly STO weather reports for a year, and is now taking on this additional responsibility. A high school senior -- ASB president, FFA award-winner, actor -- Collin is an over-achiever himself and the perfect host for this series.

To nominate: If you know of a young high achiever that you would like to see profiled, contact The Spokesman-Review by e-mail at news@spokesman.com or call (509) 459-5503.
