Inspiring Youth Awards opening doors for young people
Fourteen-year-old Stanton Burtt from Devonport still doesn't know who nominated him for the Great Mate Award at the 2025 YFCC Inspiring Youth Awards, but he has his suspicions.
|
What he does know is the impact the recognition has had on his life.
|
"Winning the award has opened doors I didn't know existed," Stanton said.
|
|
"It helped me get a job and go on to win the 2026 Tasmanian Young Achievers Raw Strength in the Community Award."
