Nominations for the 2025 Hume Young Leaders Awards are open to celebrate the leadership and contributions young people in Hume are making to their communities.
The annual celebration invites nominations for young people living in Hume aged 12-24 who are advocating for, and leading change within their communities and across our city.
Nominations can be made on behalf of a young person who you see leading change, or by the leader themselves, to ensure their efforts are recognised.
Recgonising the contributions young people make in our community is also a way of inspiring others, showing them that actions by everyday locals have far-reaching positive impacts.
To capture all the wonderful ways our young eaders are making a difference in Hume, awards will be given in the following categories:
Young Advocacy Leader
Young Enviornmental Leader
Young Creative Leader
Young Entrepreneurial Leader
Young Sport Leader
Young Refugee/Newly Arrived Leader
Young Aboriginal Leader
Young Group of the Year
In addition, young people new to their leadership journey will also be selected as an Emerging Young Leader and one Young Leader of the Year, will be chosen by an Assessment Panel.
All finalists and their families will be invited to attend an awards ceremony at Town Hall Broadmeadows in September, where category winners will receive a $500 cheque and certificate from Hume City Council.
