The Boys & Girls Clubs of Kawartha Lakes Foundation is excited to present the 2nd Annual Kawartha Lakes Youth Awards for 2021!

The annual Kawartha Lakes Youth Awards was created by the Foundation to shine a spotlight on youth in our community between the ages of 12 and 24. 

Last year, sixty nominations were received from a variety of sources throughout the community, all highlighting extraordinary youth. Their stories were inspiring and reinforce that the future of our community is in excellent hands.
We are inviting you to submit an exceptional youth so that we can recognize them for their achievements.
