2023 Brower Youth Awards Ceremony
October 24, 2023
The 24th annual Brower Youth Awards ceremony was held on October 17, 2023, at the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley, California. The evening included special videos showcasing the lives and work of our winners and speeches from each of our awardees to celebrate the accomplishments of six youth leaders in the environmental movement. The theme for this year’s Brower Youth Awards is Moving Forward Together, a reminder that the environmental movement would not be possible without teamwork, a movement in which everyone has a role and is valued for their unique contributions. It is youth leaders that lead teams in new and dynamic ways that break the barriers of what “leadership” has been in the past. This year’s theme was inspired by a proverb, “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” The flagship event of the New Leaders Initiative, the Brower Youth Awards has recognized outstanding youth leaders making strides in the environmental movement since 2000. The public ceremony and national award is hosted by the New Leaders Initiative and presented by Earth Island Institute. broweryouthawards.org
