COMMUNITY-minded Kingswinford and Stourbridge Lions Club are trying to spread the word about their Young Leaders in Service scheme.
They want more teenagers to get involved with the scheme by helping out in their community.
Youngsters must complete 50 or 100 hours of community work over a 12-month period to put themselves in line for an award.
Those completing 100 hours will receive a gold accolade - and those able to complete 50 will gain a silver accolade.
Teenagers signing up to the scheme will receive a booklet which they need to fill in and get signed.
Karen Rice, Young Leaders in Service officer for the Lions, said: "There must be loads of youngsters out there who do great work but don't get recognised and we want them to come forward and get involved with the scheme.
"It's open to anyone from 11 to 18 years and covers a whole range of activities.
"It could include someone who acts as a carer or works in a local charity shop to those who help raise funds for good causes.
"I've written to a number of local organisations, but haven't had many takers so far.
"But the more people we can get involved, the more we believe the scheme will snowball."
Categories for consideration include the environment, public health, safety, literacy and education to disaster relief, community improvement, helping children, elderly people and the homeless.
The Lions will be holding a presentation evening at Stourbridge Institute next month to reward this year's batch of Young Leaders in Service.
