What is Teen of Impact?

Teen of Impact challenges teens to lead with purpose and create meaningful change in their communities.

Take action for heart health by bringing awareness of the warning signs and risks, raising critical funds for lifesaving research, advocacy and education.

Your voice. Your team. Your impact.
Over a nine-week competition, nominees build Impact Teams, set bold goals and take action — raising awareness and funds for lifesaving research, advocacy and education. The nominee who makes the greatest local impact is named their city’s Teen of Impact and the top nominee nationwide earns the title of American Heart Association’s National Teen of Impact Winner.

This is your moment. Own it.
The future of heart health starts with you. Step up. Speak out. Be the next Teen of Impact.
