Specifics

Each year, the Barron Prize honors twenty-five outstanding young leaders ages 8 to 18 who have made a significant positive difference to people and/or our environment. The top ten winners each receive a $5,000 cash award to support their service work or higher education. The primary goal of the Prize is to shine the spotlight on these amazing young people so that their stories will inspire others.
These young people are as diverse as their service projects—some humanitarian and some environmental.They are female and male, urban and rural, and from many races and backgrounds.
