Tipperary Rotary club is looking for outstanding young citizens

Each year Rotary international recognise outstanding contributions from young

people aged 25 years or under who have made a positive contribution to

their community and the Clonmel club is seeking nominations from the South Tipperary area.

The Award is open to an individual or group.

community through action, and be a positive role model for others. This could

carers, fundraisers, volunteers or young people who shown particular courage in

some way.

Young citizen award winners receive a trophy, certificate and a prize of 500 euros

for the winners nominated charity or good cause. The winners will be presented

with their award at Rotary showcase awards ceremony in Nottingham in the UK by

BBC presenter Ellie Crisell on Sunday May 12th 2019.
