“I wanted to recognize the hard work of
one of Plum Borough’s young citizens. CJ is
the first youth who came to my mind,” said
Carl Johnson, who nominated Campeau.
“CJ is a fine young man who puts his heart
into every activity he does. He is eager to
help out within the community.”
Campeau’s long-term plans include
working in the emergency response field in
some capacity, something he should be very

good at, given the experience he has gained
Youth Volunteer of the Year
already.
His short-term plans are very similar to
what he is likely doing on this very day:
spending time volunteering at the Renton Volunteer Fire Department.
“I am honored to have been chosen for the Community Awards for Service Excellence
Youth Volunteer of the Year Award. I enjoy all of the volunteer work I do,” Campeau
said. “Whether it is when I am with the fire department, on a mission trip helping a less
fortunate family repair their home, or assisting in various activities at my church, (my
volunteer work) makes me feel good. My mom always says to ‘pay it forward,’ and I feel
like that is what I am doing when I volunteer. Seeing the looks on the faces of others
when I am helping them makes it all worthwhile.” ■
