"Greg Weatherford II started his first nonprofit at the ripe age of 12. Fast-forward two decades, and he’s still at it — albeit on a much larger scale. After just two years at The Allstate Foundation, Weatherford has overhauled and shifted the organization’s focus to empower youth to serve and improve communities across the country, essentially by teaching young kids the skill of service.

Under Weatherford’s leadership and some newly formed partnerships, Allstate has become one of only a handful of Fortune 500 companies to put funds directly in the hands of youth leaders."
