Teens need recognition and support. In these days when much of the press about teenagers is negative, this award focuses on teenagers who have triumphed over great odds and serve as inspirations and role models. If you know young people who would be good candidates for this award, please help us identify them by completing the nomination form.

Mission of the ACMCYA

To identify and recognize teenagers who have overcome obstacles and risen to challenges life has presented.

Youth Recognition

The ACMCYA is unique because it recognizes youth who have overcome difficult situations in their lives by making positive changes and by exhibiting strength and determination in the face of adversity. The young people we recognize have had a positive influence on themselves and those around them and often have not had any official recognition.

This award is unique because it encompasses all youth: youth who have not finished school, youth in traditional classroom settings, youth in group homes, youth in alternative schools and emancipated youth.
