The National Young Leader Award was launched to recognise young leaders (between 15 to 19 years old) who are involved, engaged, and show conviction in the things they do, regardless of their academic achievements.

 

For NYLA 2020, 8 finalists stood out among a vast selection of qualified nominees through trying tests and interviews. Among many others like themselves, these young leaders came from all walks of life and exhibit everyday influence and leadership. This video encapsulates their belief in leadership.

 

By highlighting the stories of these young leaders, NYLA hope it inspires a generation of young people to also rise up and make that positive contribution in their communities. The NYLA 2020 Finalists' stories were also produced to raise advocacy for the finalists. Go to the images below and learn their triumph.
