CBWWYN Youth Recognition Awards

This initiative acknowledges  and celebrates young individuals for the valuable contributions they make towards their local community, or for their personal accomplishments.

Our community is fortunate to have a diverse population of engaged young people. The CBWWYN Youth Recognition Awards is our way of showing gratitude to the invaluable leadership and contributions these young people make, which they're usually not otherwise recognised for.

Young people aged 12-25 years can be awarded by CBWWYN service providers for demonstrating:

• Contributions to the community;
• Resilience to overcome challenging life situations; and
• Inspiration by innovation.

The Awards are ongoing throughout the year, and any CBWWYN member can present a Recognition Award to a deserving young person.

If you know a young person deserving of a CBWWYN Youth Recognition Award, contact us here to get the official certificate.
