We are committed to celebrating young people's unique contributions and achievements within the Maroondah area. Each year we hold an annual Youth Awards ceremony that formally acknowledges amazing individuals and groups within the community. We also hold a range of other celebration events to recognise the contributions and achievements of young people who participate in our programs. These events are closed events for program participants and their families.
The Maroondah Youth Awards is an annual event that celebrates and recognises the strengths, resilience, and achievements of young people aged between 10-25 in Maroondah. The event is a night filled with personal stories, inspiring speeches, amazing performances, and recognition of young people in Maroondah. Hosted at Karralyka Centre, every young person who is nominated receives an award and is recognised on stage by the Mayor & Councillors of Maroondah. There is no overall winner, instead we acknowledge the commitment, achievements and resilience of all nominees. The 2024 Maroondah Youth Awards will be held on 28 November, with more details to come.
