Our Mission

Awesome Young Authors Awards & Community is a

registered non-profit 501(c)3 organization.

The Awesome Young Authors Awards & Community is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to recognizing, supporting, and celebrating the extraordinary achievements of young published authors.

Our mission is to nourish the minds, bodies, and futures of young people by providing meaningful  programming that promotes education, wellness, and community engagement. We are committed to creating safe, inclusive spaces where youth can grow, learn, and thrive, empowered with the tools they need for lifelong success.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

​

Our  programs are also part of our offerings, teaching children about the importance of using their skills and talents to make a positive impact

on their communities. These programs foster a sense of social responsibility and encourage children to think creatively about ways to address social issues. 

Lastly, community engagements play a significant role in our organization's activities.  Through community engagements, we aim to create partnerships, collaborate with local organizations, and provide resources and support to children and families in the community.
