ISOBEL CARTER YOUTH FUND
In 2004, my mother, Isobel Carter passed away. That year I decided that I would start a fund that would follow her own spirit of unconditional love that she had passed on to me. My mother's belief was that we should always encourage young people to succeed and teach them to reach out to others and develop compassion. We must always find a way to lead, give, share, inspire, and never give up on anyone as we are all precious gifts.
Since 2005, I have awarded The Isobel Carter Youth Award to a child under the age of 15 who demonstrates compassion and leadership unconditionally; or as my mother would say "has a good soul". Each year one young person from Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington will receive a $500 RESP to be used in the future for their education. The award celebrates young people that show kindness of heart, a generous soul and leadership when it's most important.
Do you know someone that you would like to nominate? If so, please send us an e-mail about your nominee so that they can be considered for the next Isobel Carter Youth Award.
