Young Heroes Awards
The National Liberty Museum’s Young Heroes Awards, presented by NJM Insurance Group, recognize young people who have championed liberty through their civic actions.
Each year, the Museum celebrates the inspiring achievements of young people who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to advancing civic responsibility in their communities.
