Since 2000, the Brower Youth Awards has recognized outstanding young leaders who are making strides in the environmental and social justice movement. Under the umbrella of the New Leaders Initiative, the Brower Youth Awards provide an elevated platform to showcase and honor the accomplishments of young leaders. 

Each year, six young people based in North America are awarded this prize, joining a growing and diverse group of green leaders who are publicly recognized for their sustainable projects, innovative ideas, and informed actions.

This is a great cause that aligns well with our company’s mission of sustainability, environmental consciousness and social justice. Smith & Fong has been a sponsor of the Brower Youth Awards since 2014; the event was held this year at the War Memorial Hall in San Francisco.
