The I Respect Award is a flagship values-based initiative of EastWest Rural Bank, anchored on the Bank’s core value of “I Respect.” In today’s evolving social and digital landscape, the program aims to inspire young individuals to practice respect in their everyday actions and interactions.
The award recognizes students who consistently demonstrate respect for themselves, for others, and for the community, as seen through the eyes of their teachers. It highlights behaviors that reflect positive values across social, cultural, environmental, and digital spaces, while also acknowledging the important role of teachers in shaping the character of the youth.
Through the I Respect Award, EastWest Rural Bank reinforces its commitment to values formation and community development by celebrating students who lead by example and help build a more respectful and responsible society.
