12th Annual Brookline Youth Awards To Take Place On May 24

BROOKLINE, MA — The 12th annual Brookline Youth Awards will take place on Tuesday, May 24 at 7 p.m. at the Coolidge Corner Theatre, according to BrooklineHub.com.

The Brookline Youth Awards is an opportunity for residents to hear about the character, challenges, and dreams of its young people as well as adults dedicated to their success, through the power and intimacy of video interviews.

There are no barriers to be eligible for an award other than the recipient must be between the ages of 13 and 19 and either live in or go to school in Brookline. Past recipients have been recognized for their outstanding in-school and out-of-school achievements, courage overcoming adversity or helping others do the same, displaying exceptional kindness, character, and generosity of spirit.

Teachers, administrators, guidance counselors, students and residents submit essays to a 40+ person nomination committee which consists of BHS school administration, teachers, Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Community Relations, past Brookline Youth of the Year recipients, representatives from Steps to Success and Brookline Teen Center, as well as a cross section of Brookline government, business and resident leaders.

Over the last 12 years the youth awards have recognized more than 800 students and 25 adults. More than 190 video interviews have been produced. This year, the event will recognize 81 students and is taking a year hiatus from recognizing outstanding adults until 2023.
