ABOUT: Maya Gold was a social activist who was deeply committed to helping others. Created in her honor, the annual Compassion in Action Award recognizes up to two New Paltz High School students who have demonstrated a commitment to improving mental wellness, advancing social justice, empowering their peers, and\or strengthening community.

Our goal is to recognize up to two high school students each year with a $500 award per student.
