YOUTH RECOGNITION AWARD

The Youth Recognition Award recognizes individual youth who have made noteworthy achievements or who have achieved considerable progress in a particular endeavour, thus exhibiting the ability and commitment for personal change and growth.

YOUTH COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT AWARD

The Youth Community Enhancement Award recognizes individual youth who have made a voluntary contribution to their community that resulted in a positive change or made a lasting impact, such as developing a project, serving on a committee, or participating in other volunteer work with an organization and/or group. All nominees must demonstrate a minimum contribution of 50 hours of school or community service work between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020.

OUTSTANDING YOUTH TEAM AWARD

The Outstanding Youth Team Award recognizes a group of youth who have completed a minimum of 35 hours per youth of service, resulting in enhanced programs and/or services for their school or their local or global community between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020. If any individual youth in a group has not completed 35 hours of service, the individual does not qualify for the award. It is the Nominator’s responsibility to confirm that each individual youth in a group has completed 35 hours of service.
