Students Arthur Hu, Caleb Kurlantzick, and Saniya Yamin wanted to find a way for young people to have their voices heard in policymaking. 

Now, they have been awarded the $7,500 first prize in the Bill of Rights Institute’s MyImpact Challenge for founding PIVOT: Policy Insights and Voices of Tomorrow, a nonpartisan youth-led think tank designed to amplify youth voices in public policy.
