Nominations are now open for the Queensland Young Volunteer Awards 2008.
In recognition of the important contribution young people make to our community, the Queensland Government has established the Queensland Young Volunteer Awards which gives eight awards of $2,000 to Queenslanders between 12 and 25 years of age.
While recognising and rewarding outstanding volunteer efforts by young Queenslanders, the awards also strengthen the knowledge and understanding of volunteering by young people, the groups they support and their communities.
Teachers, recognised community leaders and organisations that work with young people can nominate young volunteers in one of two categories - Individual or Group.
To be eligible for an award, the nominee must reside in Queensland and the volunteering activities must have occurred in the last 12 months, while the nominee was aged between 12 and 25 years.
Do you have someone in mind? Complete the nomination form [PDF 373kB] (also available as a word document [DOC 73kB]) and tell us in no more than three A4 typed pages about the volunteering activities of your nominated individual or group.
Submissions close Friday, 22 February 2008.For further information please visit the Department of Communities web site or contact the Office for Volunteering by email at volunteering@communities.qld.gov.au or telephone on 3247 9172.
