The 2025 ceremony will include an evening of entertainment, food and drink, and an inspirational keynote to help us honor exceptional high school students from across the city. We are always excited to welcome local leaders, elected officials, and gamechangers to celebrate DC's next generation of leaders with us.

We've had the honor of welcoming incredible changemakers as our keynote speakers, including members of Congress, national nonprofit leaders, mayors of DC, founders of movements, and youth leading global change. Their inspiring messages have left a lasting impression, motivating our young leaders to dream bigger.

Mark your calendars and join us to celebrate DC Student Leaders at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library on ——. Follow us on Instagram for the latest on the celebration, including our speaker, guest updates, and volunteer opportunities.
