Eleven of Napier's finest young achievers will be recognised for their positive contributions to their community at a special function on Thursday night.
It is the fourth year the Spirit of Napier Lions Club has run the Napier Young Achievers programme which sees one award presented for each 100 students
on a school's Year 13 senior roll.
The programme, which has been run by Hastings Lions for five years and based on a long-running one which began in Rotorua, highlights and recognises examples of positive and motivated youth in the city.
Selection revolves around students in their final year of secondary school who are seen as excellent role models and who have achieved above expectations in one or more fields of endeavour, be it academic or non-academic.
The awards presentation will take place at the Napier City Council chambers at 7.30pm tomorrow night.
