2023 Recognition Awards - Young Volunteer Award

Nov 28, 2023

Congratulations to Kate Laing, this year's recipient of the Young Volunteer Award at the SCA Recognition Awards.

This award recognises a young person who commits time and effort to their club, centre or community throughout the year in one or more unpaid roles. The nominee could be a young person who volunteers behind the scenes or maybe they have made a successful step on a coaching/leadership pathway.


Congratulations to our winner Kate Laing, who volunteers at Willowgate Activity Centre. She has volunteered for the last two years and helps with everything from washing wetsuits to helping paddlers with a disability or other young people learn to paddle.


Congratulations Kate, we expect to hear many more great things about you as you continue your paddlesport journey!
