Young Community Developer of the Year (YCDTY) Awards

The Free State Department of Social Development; Youth Development Sub-directorate will be hosting the Young Community Developer of the year (YCDTY) Awards. This award ceremony is to honour and to recognize the efforts of Free State youth in improving the quality of life in their communities.
The Young Community Developer of the Year Awards is a model which is a joint initiative of the Free State Department of Social Development and the National Department of Social Development. The Awards will recognise and include beneficiaries in all five districts of the province. The model focuses on unemployed and out of school youth of the Free State who are between 18 - 35 years.

The awards aim at identifying young men and women who have achieved in their fields with the determination and foresight to make an impact on the future of fellow South Africans. People from the Free State have been invited to participate by nominating young men and women who they think have served their communities with distinction without any financial or material awards. The Department of Social Development will play the coordinating and facilitating role for all the activities of the competition
in the Free- State Province.

The awards will focus on five categories, namely:

  • Social Entrepreneurship as an NPO or Cooperative
  • Child and Youth Care
  • Training and Capacity Building

The finalists have been nominated from the districts and will compete with each other for the overall provincial winner. The winners will be awarded with individual prize money, and the Young Community Developer of the Year Award will honour an esteemed young South African who, during their lifetime, has inspired communities by contributing positively in community development projects.

The award ceremony will take place under the following details:
