The Wake County Young Democrats (WCYD) present the P.R. Latta Volunteer of the Year Award annually to a member of the Democratic Party residing in Wake County who has shown an outstanding and lifelong commitment to grassroots activism. The Young Democrats host a banquet, typically in August, at which this award is presented.
The Executive officers and the Board of the WCYD select the recipient of the award from nominations received from the other auxiliary clubs in the county, the Executive Director of the County Party, the County Chair, and the County Executive Officers.
