Top 20 Under 20 National Awards Program
We understand the challenges of being a successful young person in today's world - the dedication, commitment and energy that it takes to balance activities like volunteering, part-time work, running a small business, sports, theatre and education to name a few.
At Youth in Motion, we want to encourage you to continue making a difference. That is why we created Top 20 Under 20™ - to celebrate and honour Canadians who have demonstrated a significant level innovation, leadership and achievement but have not yet reached the age of 20.
Top 20 Under 20™is a national youth awards program presented by Youth in Motion and sponsored by Intact Foundation (formerly ING Foundation), Bell Canada, BMO Capital Markets, CTVglobemedia and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario. It honours young Canadians who have demonstrated a significant level of achievement, innovation and leadership, but who have not yet reached the age of 20.
Top 20 Under 20™ is open to all young Canadians under the age of 20 - regardless of race, gender and/or religious affiliations. Our only requirement is that your leadership and innovation has led to the betterment of your school, community, province and/or country.
We also recognize that success in today’s competitive world requires much more than academic skills. For this reason, the assessment criteria look beyond academics to specific skills that have a positive impact on the everyday life of our community.
