2012 Youth Now Awards & Nomination Package
The United Way of Greater Victoria (UWGV), in partnership with the Intermunicipal Recreation Youth Services of Greater Victoria, will recognize the valuable contributions made by youth throughout the Greater Victoria region at the 14th Annual Youth Now Awards.

Individual youth and groups of youth (between 11 and 29 years old) who have provided extraordinary service to others, acted as role models for environmental stewardship, or demonstrated exceptional personal accomplishments can be nominated for Youth Awards. Professionals who make a difference in the lives of the youth they work with, as well as businesses and organizations who excel at providing youth friendly services can also be nominated. There are no age restrictions for these two recognition categories. Click here for the package.

The achievements of all the nominees will be recognized at the Youth Now Awards Gala, to be held on May 4th at Cedar Hill Recreation Centre. Everyone is welcome to attend. To reserve seats for the Youth Now Awards Gala, please call 250-220-7359 or email youth@uwgv.ca.
