YMC Local Heroes
KQED.org > Youth Media Corps Spring 2003

There are many notable individuals and heroes working everyday, and everywhere. We celebrate and recognize some of the most valuable contributors to our vibrant and enduring communities.

Here are just a few of the extraordinary, remarkable, distinguished, and outstanding people in the Bay Area, their personal biographies, and why we chose them as our heroes.

We greatly appreciate the inspiration and support provided by Just Think during the development of the Local Heroes Campaign.
