WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

We are on a mission to spotlight America’s Latino and Hispanic changemakers— individuals from every corner of the United States, who, in everyday capacities, are passionately igniting positive change across our communities. Whether they hail from bustling urban centers or tranquil outskirts, boardrooms, or schoolrooms, these changemakers view challenges as pathways to progress. While their efforts might not always be in the spotlight, their influence is undeniable, fostering transformation and inspiration for all.

In recognition of the significant contributions made by Latinos in the United States,
ASHOKA & We Are All Human are launching the

“Hispanic Star Awards: Changemakers Shaping America.”

This Award aims to celebrate and bring
visibility to

  • Up to 19 Latino Changemakers who embody the
    spirit of transformative change and their ideas to
    drive positive societal change.
  • Representing the dynamic 19% of the U.S.
    population.
  • Spotlighting these exemplary changemakers –
    individuals who are having a transformative
    impact across different sectors of society.
