Hilliard’s Maggie West earns Youth Leadership Award

Maggie West

Maggie West, a veteran City of Hilliard lifeguard, dedicated volunteer, and inspiring leader, will receive 2024 Ohio Parks and Recreation Association’s Outstanding Youth Leadership Award.

This prestigious recognition celebrates Maggie’s exceptional contributions to our community, steadfast commitment to service, leadership in various community initiatives, and positive influence on others.

Maggie was surprised with this well-deserved honor at the Recreation and Parks Advisory Committee meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 13, where a small reception celebrated the moment with her family and loved ones.

As a member of our aquatic staff, Maggie has served as a role model for her peers, demonstrating unwavering professionalism and enthusiasm. Beyond her work as a lifeguard, Maggie has volunteered countless hours across Hilliard, selflessly giving back to those around her.

One of Maggie’s standout contributions was her mentorship of young girls through the Cool Tech Girls initiative, where she has been an active supporter of encouraging girls to explore science, technology, engineering and math fields. Her involvement in this program has made a lasting impact on the participants and has helped foster a supportive environment for future leaders in science and technology.

Maggie will be formally recognized for her achievements at the OPRA Conference Feb. 4.
