Miley Cyrus: Global Action Award Recipient!

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.
