Millions of youth around the world have decided not to wait for anyone else to solve the problems they face in their communities. They are leading by example and finding unique ways to address important issues like hunger, human rights, civic engagement, education, wellness, racism, environmental protection, and creating safe communities!

You have likely met some of these rock stars or are one yourself- and we’d love to learn more about your work and introduce you to our global community of changemakers!

Please add your project here by the deadline date midnight your time, to be considered for this year’s Billion Acts Awards and to join the Billion Acts community of youth and adult allies who care as deeply as you about making the world a better place.
