There’s Nothing Wrong With Teens Doing Teen Stuff, But Check Out What One Extraordinary Kid Is Doing

As a young kid, Nicholas visited homeless shelters with his mom. He saw how much not having shoes that fit properly affected the kids: They couldn’t participate in sports, missed school, and felt badly about themselves.

Do you know someone like Nicholas who’s between 8 and 22 years old and is also making a difference? If so, high five for keeping awesome company! Also, you can nominate them for a Peace First Prize. Five to 10 people will be selected for two-year $25,000 fellowships. It doesn’t take long to nominate someone, but it sure could make a big difference for the good work they’re doing.
