Congratulations to Leonardo Oliveira, our 2026 National Teen of Impact™ Winner! This American Heart Association’s lifesaving mission is personally meaningful for the Tampa Bay teen and community advocate. Leonardo’s parents both work in health care and inspired his belief that small, everyday choices can shape lifelong well-being. “This experience has helped me think more intentionally about the future I want to help create, one that is more equitable and healthier,” Leonardo said. “It also reminds me that when you set your heart and mind to a goal, and rally those around you, you can accomplish great things.” The Teen of Impact™ campaign is a nine-week, nationwide competition that challenges teens to lead with purpose, build Impact Teams and drive meaningful change in their communities.
