A Young Visionaries Fellowship award (and accompanying $1,000 grant) recognizes those young people who are using their entrepreneurial skills for the betterment of our world - not just to make a few dollars. They are true visionaries who are solving important issues in our community!

In 2020 Believe In A Dream selected 5 young individuals / teams who are creating projects that “make their community or the world a better place.”

2020 Young Visionaries Fellows include …

Amayah Singpradith, 18 of Allen County (PFW by way of Wayne HS), homeless essentials
Aubree Hall, 17, of LaGrange County (Lakeland HS), school entrepreneur coffeeshop
Amelia Johnston, 17, of LaGrange County (Prairie Heights HS), school greenhouse and sustainability education
Katlyn Borchelt, 18, and Hannah Mekaru, 17, of Allen County (Snider HS), homeless menstrual needs
