ABOUT THE 'PEER-TO-PEER SUPPORT' AWARD

This ROYaL Global Award aims to recognise and celebrate an outstanding individual who rarely receives recognition for their integral work which supports young people and/or the youth sector. This includes individuals who work tirelessly to improve the well-being of young people but do not hold official roles in youth work. These unsung heroes could be coaches, mentors, program managers, or volunteers who work behind the scenes to support and empower young people.

It is important to acknowledge these individuals because they play a crucial role in shaping the lives of young people and their contributions often go unnoticed. Whether it’s through providing guidance and support, creating opportunities for personal growth, or advocating for youth rights and needs, these individuals are making a significant impact on the lives of young people.

The winner of this award will be someone who has demonstrated a strong commitment to improving the well-being of young people through their actions and contributions. Their work may not fall under traditional youth work roles but it is just as valuable and deserving of recognition.

If you know someone who fits this description and whose work has positively impacted young people, we encourage you to nominate them for this prestigious ROYaL award. Let us shine a spotlight on these unsung heroes and show them our appreciation for all that they do to support young people in our communities. Together, let’s celebrate their dedication and contribution towards building a brighter future for our youth.
