NINETEEN UNDER NINETEEN STUDENT TO WATCH
At Junior Achievement of Georgia, we believe the next generation of CEOs, founders, and community leaders is already among us. 19 Under 19 is not an academic award; it is a celebration of bold thinkers, builders, innovators, and young people who are creating real impact in their schools, businesses, and communities. These 19 honorees represent the future of Georgia, and they are just getting started.
