Since 2000, the Brower Youth Awards program has recognized outstanding emerging youth leaders in the environmental movement. A signature program of Earth Island Institute's New Leaders Initiative, Brower Youth Awards (BYA) celebrates the accomplishments of young environmental leaders across North America. Each year, six young people are awarded the prize and provided extensive mentorship. They will join a growing and diverse group of 117 youth leaders who are publicly recognized for their sustainable and innovative solutions.
Pre-Event Reception in the Green Room begins at 5:30 pm. Doors open for the Awards Ceremony in the Herbst Theatre at 6:45 pm.
