21-year-old Teagan Mitchell was awarded the Award for Leadership and Advocacy.
She was recognised for the many organisations she is involved in locally, including work in environmental advocacy.
The Award for Human Rights was awarded to Noor Al-Assafi.
She is involved in a number of local advocacy groups, and works as a social worker with expertise in self-harm intervention and prevention.
