On the final day of National Volunteer Week, the Youth of Distinction Awards (YODA) honoured 24 outstanding youth finalists (ages 12–18) who are creating real, lasting change in Calgary through their leadership, creativity, advocacy, and service.

As we celebrate National Volunteer Week across Canada, Youth Central and Volunteer Calgary want to take a moment to recognize the immense impact of volunteers on the wellbeing and vibrancy of our communities.
