Over the past few months, more than 200 young leaders from around the country competed for a shot at one of 10 Millennial Impact Grants, each worth $10,000. It was a nationwide search for the best public service projects launched and developed by innovators under the age of 30. Five winners were be selected by a team of Generation Y expert judges. Another five winners were chosen by public vote on The Huffington Post Impact–more than 24,000 votes were cast for the 10 Readers’ Choice Award finalists.
And now, without further ado, it’s time to meet the winners and watch a video of their reactions to the news!
