Leaders of Tomorrow is an inspiring Gala that celebrates youth, ages 5-24, who have made contributions to our community through volunteer activity. Volunteer Lethbridge recognizes and celebrates the dedication, conduct, and good work of the exceptional youth volunteers whose example in our community is an inspiration.


We invite individuals, community groups, local businesses, educational institutions, and volunteer organizations to nominate any young person that has demonstrated the spirit of volunteerism and inspired others. Nominators must be or have been in a supervisory role to the youth nominee and exclude parents, caregivers and immediate relatives.
