Lauren Tapper

Chicago, IL | 15

2021 AWARD RECIPIENT

“I stepped up to lead because the pandemic demanded that I find the vision and strength to support my peers.”

Lauren co-founded Covid-TV, an online platform where teenagers from around the world could provide their peers with emotional and mental health support during the pandemic and form a community combating isolation and anxiety. She then expanded Covid-TV to launch social justice projects addressing mask shortages, hunger, unemployment, and political advocacy. The organization now supports more than 60 global teen ambassadors leading community fundraising and action campaigns to address pandemic-related crises and other social justice issues. The online platform connects teens from ten countries and has reached over 15,000 global readers.
