This year’s NGen Leadership Award finalists are some of the most impressive and inspiring young changemakers we’ve ever seen. Each, in their own way, is making the world better – and we’d like you to know them better.

You can meet all six finalists at Upswell Chicago, November 13-15, where the winner will be announced live. But, of course, that’s still a few months away, and voting for the winner closes soon. And before it does, we’ll be hosting a live online conversation with the finalists. Get your questions ready and mark your calendar for Thursday, August 22 when you can interact directly with them in a Twitter Town Hall beginning at 3pm ET.

In the meantime, you can cast your vote once daily for the winner through Friday, August 23, and now, you can take a deeper dive with new Q&As with each finalist. Click any of the finalist photos below to learn a bit more about each of them:
