HFUW knows there are hundreds of Change Makers in the community who should be recognized, and that’s where you come in. They need your help to identify these passionate individuals in the community. There are five types of Change Maker awards they need your nominations for:
- Unsung Hero Award
- The Unsung Hero Award lifts up a person or organization that is making significant contributions to the community when no one is looking. Be it someone who makes a career of service or someone who volunteers their time, they want to honor those who are making a difference at the grassroots level regardless of getting credit for their work.
- Change Maker Junior Award
- The Change Maker Junior Award celebrates contributions to Central Florida made by some of the region’s youngest leaders. Specifically to highlight Change Makers from 0-17 years old, they want to honor those who are using creativity, determination, and passion for change to make a difference for others. Age is just a number and certainly does not define the impact one can make on their community.
- Women United Impact Award
- The Women United Impact Award recognizes a woman leading the charge and inspiring the change in Central Florida. This individual leads with purpose and has a strong commitment to serving others, empowering their neighbors, and making a lasting impact in their community.
- Mission United Impact Award
- The Mission United Impact Award recognizes a champion for Veterans or an outstanding service member who has contributed towards significant and positive change in Central Florida. The individual displays a commitment to serving in their community, whether through advocacy, community service, an act of heroism, or other means.
- Emerging Leader Impact Award (NEW This Year!)
- The Emerging Leader Impact Award recognizes an early- to mid-career professional passionate about making an impact in Central Florida. This individual aims to be an advocate for the community by being informed, socially aware, and culturally competent to help solve critical issues facing the community.
