BGC Kawarthas 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. 

We have received over 30 nominations this year from a variety of sources throughout the community, all highlighting extraordinary youth. Their stories are inspiring and reinforce that the future of our community is in excellent hands.

ELIGIBILITY:
All nominees must have strong ties to the City of Kawartha Lakes. For every category, individuals or groups may be nominated. Involvement with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Kawartha Lakes is only required for the BGCKL Club Spirit Award. Any group or individual is welcome to submit a nomination for a Youth Achievement Award.
