Canada recognizes 20 youth under 20 and will pair them with Order of Canada Award Recipients as mentors for the upcoming year. Soliciting applications from all the country, 20 youth were chosen for their volunteerism and selected by Youth in Motion. In existence for the past five years, this is the first year award winners will be paired with mentors.
"Ms. Peoples says the Top 20 program is a strong reminder that there is much to be celebrated about today's youth".
"All we have to do is turn on the TV or radio and we hear all the negativity associated with young people — cyber-bullying, guns, violence, disenchanted me generation," she notes."Hopefully, Top 20 Under 20 is a domino effect about the good things. There are a lot of very talented, very positive young people that are doing just incredible things."
