Inspired by a teenager in your life? Nominate them for the 2025 Douglas County Outstanding Youth Award.

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 others?

Nominations for the 2025 Douglas County Outstanding Youth Awards are now being accepted. Ten award recipients will be able to share their special night with family members, their adult supporters, and elected officials at a reception at 6 p.m., April 28, hosted by the Douglas County Youth Initiative at the Douglas County Commissioners Hearing Room in Castle Rock.

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.

Visit our webpage for more information on the Douglas County Outstanding Youth Awards, or to fill out an online nomination form by March 4, 2025. Contact Marsha Alston with questions at [email protected] or 303-814-5327.

The Douglas County Youth Initiative was established in 2005 to coordinate local youth-serving efforts and assess the needs of the County’s youngest residents. It is an active collaboration between Douglas County Government, the Douglas County School District, the City of Lone Tree, the Town of Castle Rock, the Town of Parker, the City of Castle Pines, the Douglas County Library District and the Highlands Ranch Metro District.
