Each year, the CYO honors volunteers who make a difference in the lives of young people. The Spirit of Youth Award recognizes teens who demonstrate a strong commitment to service. The Monsignor Busald Award and the St. John Bosco Medal, the highest honors given by the CYO, recognize adults who have made a lasting impact on youth development.
