Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. When we talk about heroes, we mean ordinary people, like you and me, who use their Character Traits and First Amendment Rights to make a difference.
Read the Hero Stories below to get an idea of what it takes to be a Young Hero! Each young person featured on this page has taken action in their own community to help the people around them. After reading the stories, think about how you can be a young hero in your community!
