Youth Recognition Awards
The annual youth awards celebrate the exceptional achievements of young people across the Mornington Peninsula
Each year, we give you the opportunity to nominate someone you know between the ages of 10 and 25.
Conceived of and run by the Youth Advisory Committee (YAC), the awards shine a spotlight on remarkable young individuals who are making a difference in their communities.
The YAC came up with the idea for the awards because they believe it’s time we honour the contributions of young people in our community. There are so many who give back, whether through volunteering, environmental stewardship, leadership, or supporting mental health and wellbeing.
