Character Excellence

The Jamil Dada Character Excellence Youth Awards

Each year, Riverside County honors youth who have shown exemplary character while overcoming some of life’s most significant challenges during our Jamil Dada Character Excellence Youth Awards. In spite of their difficult and sometimes tragic situations, these young people have been identified as leaders in their communities, determined to earn a high school diploma, and/ or in pursuit of a post-secondary education.  The awards adhere to the Six Pillars of Character.
