Miley Cyrus was the recipient of a Global Action Youth Leadership Award at the 1st Annual Global Action Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.

The Global Action Awards were created to honor

innovative, effective and measurable solutions to global challenges and to collaborative corporate citizenry projects and campaigns that set standards and serve as catalysts for action.

Miley received her award for her work with a variety of youth and teen serving organizations.   The award was presented by Hilary Duff, whom she said “inspired her.”  Miley told the crowd:

“I want [kids] to do something they love.  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.”

Yes, well, not doing what your parents want is something that Miley is very familiar with.
