🌟 Looking back at the 2025 Hear Our Voices Youth Awards 🌟

We’re a little late sharing this one… but it’s a night worth celebrating! 💜

In 2025, Youth Albury Wodonga (YAW) was proud to deliver the 4th Annual Hear Our Voices Gala Dinner, made possible through Victorian Government VIC Engage! funding.

Held at The Lincoln, the semi-formal evening brought together almost 100 people to celebrate the voices, stories, achievements and experiences of young people across our community.

The Hear Our Voices program, facilitated by The Mandala Project, put young people at the centre of the event. Over four months, six incredible young people from the HOV Committee worked together to plan the evening, conduct interviews, edit videos and help bring the event to life 👏

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the 2025 event possible:

✨ Victorian Government VIC Engage — whose funding supported YAW to deliver this event
✨ Indie Education — our major sponsor for the fourth year
✨ Saputo — who came on board as a sponsor in 2025
✨ Wilson Transformer — supporting the event for the fourth year
✨ Rayther & Co — for their generous support in 2025
✨ The Mandala Project — for facilitating the HOV program and project managing the committee and event
✨ The Hear Our Voices Committee — for your time, creativity and leadership
✨ Michael Banovic — for capturing the night through your beautiful photography 📸

Most importantly, thank you to the young people who shared their stories and gave their time, ideas and voices to make Hear Our Voices what it is.

Young people deserve to be heard — and we’re looking forward to helping share their voices. 🗣️💜
