The YMCA of Southwestern Ontario is looking for a few good youths.
The Celebration of Youth Awards are just around the corner, and applications close May 11.
This program honours local youth whose outstanding talents and achievements have made a difference in their community with a $1000 award.
In 2024, the regional Y handed out 11 awards.
The awards focus on youth who have demonstrated leadership, sensitivity to others, innovation, development of personal talents, overcoming personal challenges, and service to the community. Special consideration is given to youth faced with financial barriers.
Award recipients embody the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and inclusiveness.
An online application link can be found here. Recipients will be asked to attend the YMCA’s Celebration of Youth Awards Event on June 18 at the Chatham-Kent YMCA.
