Our Mission

Awesome Young Authors Awards & Community is a

registered non-profit 501(c)3 organization.

The Awesome Young Authors Awards and Community exists to proudly support, recognize, and honor published youth authors' outstanding contributions to literature, social entrepreneurship, and community. We support children in their literacy and literary journey by helping them enjoy reading through read-aloud events, subscription boxes, young author's project programs, STEAM workshops, AYAA Girls Who Code,  social entrepreneurship programs, 

and community engagements.
