Youths Community Impact Awards
Youth Community Impact Awards was set up by Juliet Lamin to recognize and celebrate young people who are making positive impacts and achieving laudable goals within the community. These awards were inspired in memory of her son Philip Lamin who died as a result of a cardiac arrest during a football match in school. He was just 16 years old.
August 12, 2022 being World International Youth Day, the Youth Community Impact Awards team will on that day, recognize and celebrate youths who have contributed to the community and created positive impacts in different areas. The awards will be held in the London Borough of Bexley.
You can choose to nominate your candidates for the following categories:
Youth Social Inclusion Award
This is a nomination for those who have inspired the inclusion of youths in the community who were previously segregated due to a variety of factors such as disability, age, or social class. The judges will be looking for nominations that demonstrate the youth’s positive outlook and willingness to go the additional mile to be inclusive or encourage inclusivity.
Youth Volunteering and Community Engagement Award
In this category, we’re looking for projects that have enabled young people to positively impact their communities and their peers through volunteerism and community participation as well as activism. Judging panels will examine youth-led initiatives in development, coordination, and production.
Youth Leaving Care Award
This is a nomination for any project that has assisted young people leaving the care system by providing them with a seamless transition to life outside the care system through assistance with housing, safety, health, training, access to services, and entitlements to their work needs. The judges will look into nominations in which youths have played critical roles in preparing and assisting others to live independently.
Youth Service To Arts Award
This is a category for any individual who is actively involved in the arts in any way, shape or form, has significantly pushed forward any form of art, has introduced art to new audiences, or has taught new skills to people who are involved in the arts.
This year’s judging panel will focus on nominations from individuals who have exemplified creativity and innovation as well as diversity, inclusivity and accessibility. Inspiring a generation.
Youth Unsung Hero Award
Unusual youths who make a difference in the community but aren’t recognized deserve to be recognized and honored. In light of this, the unsung Hero award focuses on individuals who have had a positive impact on your community in any capacity. As part of their review, the judges will look for nominations where youths have been active in ongoing positive work or have done outstanding things, but are perhaps overly humble about it.
