Dobrowolski was praised for his activities in promoting human rights and environmental protection, as well as his civic commitment.
He told the PAP Polish Press Agency that what matters most to him is "a sense of joy that he is able to give to those he helps."
Among his various activities, he mentioned his school's student government and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
In her remarks at an awards ceremony in the hall of Stockholm's old Post Office, Anna Urombi, Secretary General of the Raoul Wallenberg Academy, stressed that "age doesn't matter if one wants to do something good for others," adding that "even small deeds count."
The 2026 laureates represent 15 countries: Poland, Australia, Canada, Greece, Hungary, Monaco, Montenegro, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Serbia, Sweden, Norway, Tanzania, Uganda, and the United States.
They all received special diplomas and took part in "a tour in Wallenberg's footsteps."
August 27 is marked in Sweden as the Raoul Wallenberg Remembrance Day.
Wallenberg, Sweden's special envoy in Budapest in 1944, saved thousands of Jews in Nazi-occupied Hungary before being arrested by the Soviet Red Army in January 1945.
He later disappeared in Soviet custody, and Russia has never released records on his fate.
The Young Courage Award has been presented annually since 2015 to people aged 13 to 20 who, with limited resources, have shown moral courage and social commitment.
Last year, Tomasz Biera from Warsaw became the first Polish recipient of the honour.
