What are the Youth In Service Awards?

We are the proud hosts of the Youth In Service Awards, Birmingham’s only awards event exclusively recognizing the civic and service contributions of youth in our state. This is also YouthServe’s largest fundraiser of the year, supporting our year-round youth programs. The Awards Breakfast brings together students, families, and community leaders to recognize finalists and winners, and to hear directly from these young changemakers about the impactful service projects they have led in their communities. 2026 will mark the 5th anniversary of this powerful event! Learn about previous Youth In Service Awards Breakfasts and finalist projects here.
