More information

The Queensland Young Volunteer Award Winners 2009 were announced on 27 August by the Minister for Community Services and Housing, the Honourable Karen Struthers. The Queensland Young Volunteer Awards recognise and reward the positive contributions made by young people aged 12 to 25.

Community leaders and community organisations nominated young people for their voluntary contributions to Queensland. Nominations were received from two age groups: 12-17 years and 18-25 years across five categories:

• Green volunteers,
• Young entrepreneurs,
• School action volunteers,
• Community volunteers, and
• Art and culture volunteers. 

The award winners were selected by a panel of judges based on their achievements and the benefits their communities received as a result of their volunteering activities. The winners received $500 and a certificate of recognition.
