The Lions annual Youth of the Year Program is one of the best- known Youth engagement / development projects in Australia with over 140,000 young Australians entering the Quest since its inauguration in 1964. Contestants at all levels are encouraged to engage in community service and to share their thoughts and ideas about Australia through the medium of public speaking.

Our Youth of the Year Alumni includes young Australians from all walks of life including business, sports, fields of education, health The Arts and trades. The National winners go on to be wonderful representatives of Australian Youth, building bridges of goodwill internationally, fostering high standards of leadership and understanding the problems of needy communities in other countries.  

The Club’s President, Philip Watson, acknowledged the dedication of our Club’s YOTY chairman, Lion Gavin Ridley, a retired senior teacher from Normanhurst Boys High who has been a wonderful advocate and promoter for the Quest since joining Lions International.

Gavin’s drive and energy to maintain the Quest’s high standards is valued by local school communities thus building interest and the reputation of YOTY, which attracts many high calibre contestants from all backgrounds.
