The mission of the MMCYA is to identify and recognize teenagers who have overcome obstacles and risen to challenges life has presented.

The Metropolitan Mayors and Commissioners Youth Award is unique because it recognizes youth who have overcome difficult situations in their lives by making positive changes and by exhibiting strength and determination in the face of adversity. The young people we recognize have had a positive influence on themselves and those around them and often have not had any official recognition.

As you fill out the nomination form, keep in mind that the more information you include, the easier it will be for the screening committee to recognize what makes these young people so special. We realize that some of the information may be sensitive. Please indicate if any of the information needs to be kept confidential.

2011 Nomination Forms are due in the Commissioners' Office by February 24, 2011. Please note that nominees are not automatically recognized; the committee reserves the right to limit the number of honorees.
