Young Leaders in Civic Engagement

Are you a passionate young changemaker? Ready to make a difference in your community? Here’s your chance to be recognized as a leader driving positive change!

The Young Leaders in Civic Engagement award will highlight ongoing or new civic engagement projects and recognize the efforts of the young changemakers who demonstrate leadership abilities through projects that build relationships in their communities and work together toward positive change. The awardees will receive a certificate and a monetary award, as well as join the AfSV Youth Ambassadors network.

What is civic engagement?

Civic engagement is the process of connecting individuals of diverse cultural, religious or ethnic backgrounds in society who share common interests and work for the common good by addressing issues of public concern. As an umbrella organization for several institutions to form a nationwide network, AfSV has been working toward promoting community service, education, and interfaith dialogue. With this initiative, we hope to support and recognize young social innovators who contribute meaningfully to society through civic engagement.
