The Juneteenth 15 Under 50: Community Impact Awards was created to honor those who continue to break barriers, create opportunities, and invest in the growth and success of others through service and leadership.
At U.N.I.T.E. Education Foundation, we believe that celebrating community leaders inspires future generations to lead with purpose, compassion, and excellence.
