SEEN recently asked the community to nominate young changemakers in Metro Detroit. We then selected seven kids and teens who are impacting their communities — from a 5-year-old collecting books for kids overseas to two sisters keeping the homeless warm locally. Their stories show you don’t have to a “grown up” to make a difference.
