21st Annual U-ROC Youth Awards

What are the U-ROC (Richmond Outstanding Community) Youth Awards?
Every year during BC Youth Week (May 1-7) the City of Richmond hosts the U-ROC (Richmond Outstanding Community) Youth Awards to celebrate the achievements and dedication of Outstanding Youth and Asset Champions within the Richmond community. 2019 marks the 21st anniversary of this exciting event.

The City asks for professionals and community members working with youth, who know of an Outstanding Youth, Asset Champion or Youth Group to nominate them for an award. Please take the time to consider those who go above and beyond the day to day expectations and activities required of them, and those who may not otherwise receive recognition for their achievements.

Category Descriptions
