St. Olaf student Antonio Jennings '11 was recently named a "20 Under 20" leader by the Atlanta Business Chronicle's "40 Under 40" leaders. Jennings was recognized for the Each One Reach One Impact Project, a nonprofit he launched that assists at-risk young and single mothers who are struggling to educate their children. Upon completion of the program, students receive a computer secured by Antonio's organization through grant writing and fundraising. Each One Reach One has assisted more than 200 children.

"I am thankful for the award but I am more thankful for the program and what it does for so many children and families," says Jennings. "The award is just a reminder that the program changes lives and that we must continue to do so." Jennings' mother, Deborah Jennings, runs Each One Reach One while her son is in school.

Members of the 20 Under 20 group were honored for being outstanding role models for other youth; for demonstrating leadership through organizing a business, non-profit, or community initiative that makes an impact on the greater community serving as a positive example to other young people; and for initiating endeavor(s) or accomplishment(s) overall.
