LIFE

Calling all young leaders and innovators! Ready for an amaze opportunity to showcase the positive impact you've made on your community?

The Prudential Emerging Visionaries awards program just launched a contest to hear how changemakers (just like you!) are making communities stronger, more inclusive and more equitable. Being an Emerging Visionary is all about creating real solutions to real financial and societal problems.

You might've started a program that collects food and supplies for those in need. Maybe you've organized a protest. You could've acted as a mentor to inspire and empower younger kids. Or maybe you've created an educational program to help others achieve their goals, despite the barriers they are facing.

Bottom line: There are *so* many ways to make a difference and help others. The point is to share how you've done so in a new and creative way. (If you're interested in learning how past winners have created change, click here for some seriously inspiring stories.)

25 winners will be announced in April—20 selected for their solutions to societal problems and five selected for their solutions to financial barriers.

All winners will receive $5,000 *and* an all-expenses-paid trip (!!!) to Prudential's headquarters in Newark, N.J. At the event, winners will receive coaching and skill development from Prudential experts to help them take their projects to the next level. Winners from the financial category will also have the opportunity to pitch their ideas to Prudential for a chance to win a grand prize of $15,000! 

If you're between the ages of 14 and 18 and have a fresh solution to a stubborn problem in your community, apply here no later than Nov. 3 for a chance to win! You go, girl.
