The search is underway for Clare’s top young community leaders following the launch of the annual Clare Garda Division Youth Awards by An Garda Síochána in partnership with The Shannon Airport Group.
The awards seek to identify inspirational young leaders and one youth group in recognition of their voluntary work and personal achievements. The awards are open to nominees aged between 13 and 21 years from the Clare Garda Division district.
There are four Award Categories in this year’s Clare Garda Youth Awards - Individual Award, Group Award, Community Safety Award and a Special Achievement Award.
The Individual Award is open to young people who have made a positive contribution to their community, making it a better place to live.
The Group Award category applies for groups of two or more young people whose combined efforts have contributed positively to their communities.
The Community Safety Award is for a young person, who through a crime prevention or safety innovation, has made their community a safer place to live.
The Special Achievement category is open to any young person who has overcome difficult circumstances, or defied the odds and whose commitment deserves recognition.
The closing date for nominations is the 10th May 2024 and the public are now encouraged to nominate candidates.
