Mayor’s Awards for Youth Volunteerism

These awards recognize people in three categories—elementary, high school and post-secondary youth up to age 24—who demonstrate leadership, care and compassion and/or an ability to overcome personal challenges, motivate others or use special skills to improve the community’s quality of life.
