Zonta Young Women in Leadership Award (formerly the Young Women in Public Affairs Award) recognizes young women, ages 16-19, for demonstrating leadership skills and commitment to public service and civic causes, and encourages them to continue their participation in public and political life.
The 2025 call is available and applications will be accepted until March 2025. Please ask your local Zonta Club for the exact closing date.
Women, aged 16-19 on 1st April each year, living in a Zonta district or who are citizens of a Zonta country, who demonstrate evidence of the following, are eligible to apply.
The program operates at the Zonta club and the Zonta district. Zonta clubs provide awards for club recipients. All young women who win a club award will automatically apply for the district award (up to US $ 5.000,-).

Young women often do a lot more than they realize and do not always talk about. The District 14 winner of 2019, Svea Victoria, would like to use a short video to encourage all girls and explain why they should apply.
