The Ontario Medal for Young Volunteers is an honour presented annually by the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario for outstanding contributions by young volunteers in the province of Ontario. The medal is not part of the Canadian honours system and therefore cannot be worn with medals that are part of the Canadian Honours system.

The medal was created in 1998 to recognize the outstanding contributions of young people between the ages of 15 and 24, to improve the quality of life in Ontario and internationally through volunteer activities. By honouring outstanding contributions made by youth volunteers, this award recognizes exceptional young people as role models. Up to 10 recipients are chosen each year.

Recipients are selected by an independent advisory council made up of seven members appointed by the lieutenant governor on the advice of his or her premier. The lieutenant governor is the honorary chair of the advisory council.

The medal is in the shape of a circle with a trillium (Ontario's floral emblem) in the centre and surrounded by three identical shapes signifying V for volunteer, and also signifying active people. The colours of the medal are red (the colour of the flag of Ontario), white (the colour of the trillium), blue and gold.
