Nominate an outstanding teen

Do you know a Douglas County teenager, between the ages of 13 and 19, who has overcome adversity and created positive change in their life and/or the lives of others? Nominations for the 2025 Douglas County Outstanding Youth Awards are now being accepted. Ten award recipients will share their special night with family members, adult supporters and elected officials at a reception hosted by the Douglas County Youth Initiative on April 28 at 6 p.m.

This one-of-a-kind award encompasses all youth: youth who have not finished their K-12 education, youth in traditional classroom settings, youth in group homes, youth in alternative schools, and youth in foster homes. Award recipients will receive a signed letter from elected officials recognizing the teen’s achievements, a $300 gift card and County-wide recognition of their award.

Nominators will be invited to speak at the ceremony about their nominees and share how those individuals inspired change and rose above life’s challenges.

To learn more, contact Marsha Alston at malston@douglas.co.us or call 303-814-5327.

The deadline for nominations is March 4.
