Northern Virginians of the Year

From science and social mentoring programs for girls, art classes for juvenile criminals and safety programs for children who fell victim to sexual abuse to online activism to stop bullying and mentoring our children to “be fierce”, here are our honorees who are making our community a place that will continue to grow.

The future of Northern Virginia is one that will focus on how we interact with our children and the life lessons we teach them now.

This year all of our Northern Virginians of the Year have given back to the future of Northern Virginia. From science and social mentoring programs for girls, art classes for juvenile criminals and safety programs for children who fell victim to sexual abuse to online activism to stop bullying and mentoring our children to “be fierce”, here are our honorees who are making our community a place that will continue to grow.
