Every year across the country, a select group of teens are nominated to be a part of Teen of Impact because of their passion and drive to make a difference. This 9-week competition is relentlessly focused on heart health. Launching on National Wear Red Day on February 7th, nominees work to build campaign plans, recruit Impact teams, and inspire their networks to support the American Heart Association’s lifesaving mission.
This special group of teens will be celebrated for the overall impact they have on our mission and community. The teen who brings their community together to have the largest impact locally will be named a local 2025 Teen of Impact Award Winner. Additionally, the nominee who makes the greatest impact nationwide will be named the American Heart Association 2025 National Teen of Impact Award Winner.
