Community Service Awards and Youth Service Awards

The Christchurch City Council’s Community Service Awards and Youth Service Awards are a way of giving well-deserved recognition to people who make communities better places to live. They are a way of thanking and honouring volunteers who without pay and little recognition demonstrate dedication and passion, inspiring others to make service a central part of their lives.

The Council wants to make sure that youth, older adults, and those in education, culture, church, recreation, sport or community service fields are thanked and honoured for their dedication.
