Recognizing and Rewarding Our Children for Positive Behavior, Accomplishments and Good Deeds

Our Mission

The purpose of Do The Right Thing (DTRT) is to recognize and reward Vanceboro youths for their exemplary behavior, accomplishments, and good deeds through a unique partnership with the Vanceboro Police Department. The DTRT Awards Program distinguishes exceptional school-age children who choose to be drug and crime free, exhibit non-violent behavior, do well in school, make a difference in their communities, and demonstrate turnaround behavior. Each month of the school year, police officers, teachers, and other adults nominate deserving children for “doing the right thing.”
