For 19 years, CNN Heroes has celebrated the best of humanity, but the story doesn’t end when the cameras turn off. To fuel the Heroes’ momentum, CNN Heroes teamed up with the Elevate Prize Foundation, offering nonprofit training to amplify their impact. Earlier this year, the Top Heroes of 2024 reunited at Elevate’s Make Good Famous Summit in Miami -- connecting with fellow changemakers and sharpening the skills they need to take their missions even further.
