The 30 Under 30 Awards recognize rising stars under the age of 30 who are making significant contributions to Atlanta’s nonprofit community.
These honorees represent a diverse range of missions—from education and health equity to environmental justice and arts advocacy—and are selected for their leadership, creativity, and commitment to social change.
The award not only highlights their achievements but also connects them to a broader network of peers and mentors through YNPN Atlanta’s programming.
