Wow, we have had some extraordinary things happen since it started in 2005! To date, 44 winners from around the country have impacted thousands of lives. They have created inspiring outcomes that started from seeing a need, family experiences, newspaper headlines, hobbies, and more—and turned them into thriving businesses, school clubs, community and after school programs, events, and facilities to help others. They have found ways to take their interests from the first step as an idea and turn it into a larger plan of action. They overcame struggles and hurdles to find ways to significantly benefit others.
And you know what? We are looking for MORE youth who are currently addressing needs in their communities. Help us share your stories!
If you, or someone you know is in grade 6-11 and making an extraordinary difference in your community, apply or nominate someone today.
Winners receive:
- A $2,000.00 grant to continue his or her work.
- A Four-year Post-secondary Educational Scholarship to a participating institution of higher learning.
- Recognition in The Power of Children Take Action area, including a video interview about the service project
- Honor and recognition during a special awards event on Nov. 7, 2014 at The Children’s Museum.
