Hello you may have heard of our youth honour program. If you know of any outstanding youth volunteers who are Ontario residents, please feel free to nominate them. Our deadline has been extended until January 18th. Please see the information below or go to this linkhttp://www.citizenship.gov.on.ca/english/honours/omyv/ You can contact me at 416-314-0773.
The Ontario Medal for Young Volunteers recognizes the outstanding achievements of youth volunteers across the province.
Who are the award recipients?
The personal commitment of time and effort made by young volunteers is a valuable contribution to the quality of life in our communities, and our province. By honouring outstanding contributions made by youth volunteers, this award recognizes exceptional young people as role models. Many of our youth volunteers are future leaders. Up to 10 recipients are chosen each year.
Who can receive this award?
Anyone who:
Is Between 15 and 24 years old
Lives in Ontario

How are recipients selected?
Nominations can be submitted by individuals or organizations. An independent advisory council appointed by the ministry selects the final recipients.
How is the medal presented?
Once a year, the Lieutenant Governor honours the recipients at a ceremony held in the Provincial Legislature. Each award recipient receives a medal.
What does the award symbolize?
The medal is in the shape of a circle with an Ontario trillium, our floral emblem, in the centre. Around the trillium there are three identical shapes signifying “V” for volunteer and also signifying active people. The colours of the medal are red (the colour of the Ontario Ensign), white and green (the colours of the trillium), and gold.
Can I nominate someone?
Yes, nominations can be submitted by individuals or organizations.
When is the deadline?
Extended until January 18th
