Know a young person who inspires you? Nominate them for the Young Courage Award
The Young Courage Award recognizes young individuals who—despite limited resources—have demonstrated civil courage.
The Young Courage Award is an international award presented by the Raoul Wallenberg Academy in collaboration with the Swedish Institute and the Embassy of Sweden in Washington, D.C. The award commemorates the altruistic deeds carried out by Raoul Wallenberg.
The award recipient will be invited to Stockholm, Sweden, in August 2026 for a journey “in Raoul Wallenberg’s footsteps,” culminating in an official award ceremony on Raoul Wallenberg Day, August 27.
Through March 31, 2026, anyone can nominate a young person in the United States aged 13–20 for the Young Courage Award by emailing [email protected] with a statement of 100 words or fewer explaining why they should receive the award.
