ABOUT US
The 20 Under Twenty Emerging Leaders Awards were founded in 2025 with the intent to uplift and highlight the young leaders of our community. It is an opportunity to not only celebrate our history but to contribute to the future by empowering the next generation. Whether they are standout scholars or unsung heroes in their classrooms and communities, we seek to recognize and support them. Through this event, we connect students with community partners who can help propel them forward in their journeys toward greatness.
Our vision with the "20 Under Twenty" Program is to create a tradition that tells the story “Excellence Lives Here.”

Proceeds from the 20 Under Twenty Emerging Leader Awards are used to:
1) Expand and develop the program further.
2) Support awardees in their pursuit of excellence.
3) Support youth initiatives in the communities we serve.
This program is made possible by the generosity of our community and people like you! By supporting this initiative, you help send a clear signal about the value our community places on education and the development of our young leaders.
