Each year, 21st Century Leaders partners with the Atlanta Business Chronicle‘s Atlanta’s 40 Under 40 to select 20 students under the age of 20 who have made a significant impact on their school or community. Members of the 40 Under 40 will present this year’s 20 Under 20 class with their awards at the third annual “Celebrating 21st Century Leaders” event at the Georgia Institute of Technology Ballroom on Oct. 20.
The 20 award recipients will be spotlighted and honored during the awards ceremony, which is attended by business and community leaders from around the city of Atlanta; friends of our organization; and members of the 21st Century Leaders Board of Directors.
