Miley Cyrus takes the stage at the 1st Annual Global Action Awards Gala on Friday (February 18) held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The 18-year-old entertainer was presented with the Global Action Youth Leadership Award by Hilary Duff for her work with Blessings in a Backpack and her own organization Get Ur Good On.
“I want [kids] to do something they love,” Miley said about the importance of giving back and taking initiative.
“Not something that seems like a chore because someone tells them that’s the right thing to do or what their parents want or what’s important to people around them but what’s on their heart,” she shared.
