Annually the Rotary Club of Melbourne recognises three young Victorians for their Community Service and Vocational or Scholarly achievements. The 2026 presentation will be made by Nick Pearce following a short address. On the day we will hear from the awardees of their ambitions and hopes for their continuing service to the Community.

Nick Pearce is the Co-Founder & former CEO of one of Australia’s leading social enterprises, HoMie- a highly innovative streetwear clothing brand that uses 100% of its profits to provide employment pathways to young people affected by homelessness. In 2015, at the age of 21, Nick led HoMie from an initial pop-up concept to a now-nationally recognised, multi-award-winning social enterprise that has endured for over a decade, delivering real, lasting impact on the lives of young people in Australia. Nick will be ideally suited to present the 2026 Rotary Melbourne Young Achiever Awards and their impact having received a YAA from our Club in 2019.

Join us for a special event recognising our young people.
