Who Is RDMAs 2018 Hero for Change Award Winner Carlos Polanco? Meet Him Here!

Carlos Polanco suits up sharp for the 2018 Radio Disney Music Awards held at the Dolby Theater on Friday (June 22) in Los Angeles.

The Dartmouth student will receive the Hero For Change award tonight at the ceremony, for his continuous work with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

Carlos was just recently named the National Youth of the Year for the organization, and will act as the voice for the four million youth who participate in these clubs for the next year.

He also will receive a total of $145,000 in scholarships, including $45,000 in scholarship money he received as a regional finalist and an additional $25,000 after receiving the Youth of the Year award, which he can renew for the next three years, accumulating to a total of $100,000. He also received a free trip to Disney World, which he will use this year with his family.

“I never expected to represent four million kids and to be that voice.” he recently shared in an interview. “I realized what can come to you when you reach out to people.”

Congrats to Carlos!

The 2018 Radio Disney Music Awards will take place TONIGHT, Friday, June 22nd from the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, and air tomorrow, Saturday, June 23rd on Disney Channel, Radio Disney, the Radio Disney app, and the DisneyNOW app.
