Youth Award 2022 | Vanessa Asaad

Minerva’s Youth Leadership Award 2022 has been announced! Every year, with help from our Youth Advisory Council members who screen and shortlist the winner, we select a youth leader who has participated in the Learning to Lead™ program, and has displayed exceptional enterprising spirit to take the learnings from the program into real life, and become an agent of change.

As we celebrate #DayOfTheGirl, meet the 2022 winner – Vanessa Asaad.
