Hey DoSomething members,

Earlier this summer, we launched the Generation Future Award and put out a call to find DoSomething’s next class of innovative changemakers. Over 1,000 of you submitted your epic plans to create a better future, including everything from impressive climate solutions to gender equity masterpieces. Now, the finalists are here, and we need YOU to vote on who will be honored live at the DoSomething stage in NYC and awarded a $5,000 grant to make their vision a reality!

These 10 finalists were hand selected as emerging leaders of tomorrow, and we’re so stoked that you’ll get to play a hand in choosing 3 of them who share your vision of what Generation Future looks like!

Voting is live NOW! Cast your vote for Generation Future here by September 10.

Let’s Do This!
