Our mission at The Vanguard Awards is to honor individuals who have transcended the limitations of their communities, achieving global success while remaining rooted in their humble origins and giving back without seeking recognition. Despite their significant contributions, they often go unnoticed within their own communities. We seek to redefine recognition criteria, valuing community impact over fame, and to honor those who selflessly serve without expecting acknowledgment. Our aim is to shift perceptions and celebrate those who tirelessly dedicate themselves to their community’s well-being.

We realize our vision by ensuring that the Honorees List is comprised solely of people who have for years worked tirelessly to help the commu nity with their respective skills, and never once asked to be honored or compensated. With The Vanguard Awards, we are making an effort to let the honorees know that we see them, we honor them, and their works and deeds will not go unacknowledged.
