About This Collection

Let's hear from our children, and their advocates, on the social, environmental, cultural, and economic concerns around sustainability and the call to always act responsibly and with the next seven generations in mind. The collection will also feature, from time to time, adults who are speaking on behalf of children.

2024 Brower Youth Awards Ceremony
October 25, 2024
The 25th annual Brower Youth Awards ceremony was held on October 8, 2024, 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 was Currents. Currents are forces of nature that energize and move things — electricity, water, air — forward in a definite direction. Our Brower Youth Award winners are like such currents. Their environmental activism is propelling the changes we need to support a healthy, safe, and equitable planet for all. While we face multiple existential threats, including the collapse of biodiversity and the climate crisis, threats that require immediate action. Our winners bring solutions to current problems with a sense of urgency and dedication. These young forces are not deterred by inertia or outright resistance to environmental action. We recognize their leadership and celebrate the currents of resiliency their projects have ignited. 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
