The Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes celebrates outstanding young leaders. Each year the Barron Prize honors 25 inspiring young people who have made a significant positive difference to people and our planet.
These young people reflect great diversity: They are female and male, urban and rural, and from many races and backgrounds. 
The Prize was founded by author T. A. Barron in 2000 in honor of his mother. To learn more about the Prize, check out the tabs above. |
