This year, will you or someone you nominate be recognized for amazing contributions to the community? Read on for more details and submit your recommendation by August 1!

The Junior Chamber's "Ten Outstanding Young Minnesotans" (TOYM) The Ten Outstanding Young Minnesotans program is Minnesota’s only statewide recognition program for outstanding young leaders. The program acknowledges the efforts of young leaders that have contributed to our state through their service, thought and influence, community involvement, or entrepreneurship. Since 1950, the TOYM program has recognized the leadership of over 400 young people across the state, including such public figures and community leaders as Walter Mondale, Marlene Johnson, Dave Winfield, Tim Penny, Paul Douglas, Wheelock Whitney, and Martin Sabo.
