ABOUT YES AWARDS
Recognition for service that creates lasting change
The Youth Empowerment & Service Awards (YES Awards) is a Dubai-based recognition platform celebrating high-school students who create sustained, measurable community impact.
Who we are
A platform built around youth agency
The Youth Empowerment & Service Awards (YES Awards) was created to recognise high-school changemakers whose community service extends beyond participation. The award examines commitment, leadership, evidence and the potential for impact to endure.
What we stand for
