We’re excited to unveil the finalists for the 2024 WA Youth Awards.
This year’s finalists come from all walks of life and all parts of Western Australia – from every corner of Perth, and from regional communities across the state.
Among the finalists this year you’ll find advocates and artists; activists and youth workers; innovators and change-makers; organisers and athletes; each of them united in their passion for peer leadership, community impact and better opportunities for the young people around them.
We hope you’ll join us in celebrating their accomplishments at the WA Youth Awards gala dinner on Friday 20th September at the Ritz Carlton.
