With this award, the Children and Youth Foundation of the Rotary Club Ahlen highlights quiet role models who make a lasting contribution to the common good through their courageous efforts or selfless willingness to help. The prize is aimed at people of all ages and backgrounds who act behind the scenes yet whose commitment creates tangible positive impacts within their social environment.
