Immigrant Youth Achievement Award - deadline to submit nominations is Feb. 27th

Nominate your candidate for the Immigrant Youth Achievement Award! 
Each year, the American Immigration Council’s Immigrant Youth Achievement Award program receives over 200 nominations from around the country and assembles a panel of judges to select one individual whose personal and professional accomplishments exemplify the positive contributions young immigrants make to our nation each and every day.

The Immigrant Youth Achievement Award is an opportunity to honor our past, present and future as a nation of immigrants and celebrate the enduring contributions of young immigrants.

The Immigrant Youth Achievement Award is presented at our annual spring Washington, DC Immigrant Achievement Awards attended by 250-300 immigration attorneys, Capitol Hill staff, Members of Congress and immigration advocates.  Past honorees have emigrated from Ireland, India, Cambodia, China, and Cuba and have been recognized for their significant achievements in literature, journalism, music and politics.
