2024 Brower Youth Awards

2024 Brower Youth Awards

Free to attend! Info and Register

ABOUT:

The theme for this year’s Brower Youth Awards is Currents. Currents are forces of nature that energize and move things — electricity, water, air — forward in a definite direction. Our Brower Youth Award winners are like such currents. Their environmental activism is propelling the changes we need to support a healthy, safe, and equitable planet for all. These young forces are not deterred by inertia or outright resistance to environmental action. We are here to recognize their leadership and celebrate the currents of resiliency their projects have ignited.

Currently, we are also facing multiple existential threats, including the collapse of biodiversity and the climate crisis, threats that require immediate action. Our winners bring solutions to current problems with a sense of urgency and dedication. We are inspired to share their work with you.
