Youth Workforce Champion Awards

Do you know an individual who has contributed exceptionally to the support and empowerment of Ramsey County’s youth and young adults through personal, academic or career development? Nominate the individual for the Youth Workforce Champion Awards. The awards will highlight two members of the Youth Works! community. The Legacy award recognizes a dedicated professional whose long-standing leadership and contributions to youth and young adult development have left a lasting impact. The Rising Star award honors an emerging leader whose passion and promise are inspiring change and making a difference early in their journey.

This is your chance to spotlight young people, ages 14-24 who educate, guide, and support the next generation. Help us honor the champions shaping brighter futures for our young people.
