Published on 11 March 2022
Nominations are now open for the 2022 Fairfield City Mayor’s Youth Achievement Awards, identifying young people that champion excellence in leadership, passion, commitment and enthusiasm from the Fairfield Local Government Area.
Fairfield City Mayor Frank Carbone said Council is committed to celebrating the contribution of young people in the community.
“It brings us great pleasure each year to recognise local young people making a difference through their demonstration of leadership, passion, commitment and enthusiasm,” Mayor Carbone said.
“The awards are an opportunity to recognise young go-getters with success stories in areas like business, sportsmanship, volunteering, mentoring and personal growth.
“This year will see the addition of the First Nations Youth Award to our categories, in recognition of the valuable contribution young people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent make within our community.
“Recognising local young people in leadership creates confidence, encourages ambition and inspires new leaders now and in the future.
