Harrison High School senior Zoe Stein recently worked with a squad of volunteers and the Harrison Recreation Department to organize a community-wide “I Made a Difference Charity Wellness Festival.”

The festival, which included information about how animals are abused and killed for food in the U.S., raised more than $700 for peta2, PETA’s youth division—and for her efforts, Stein has received a Star Street Teamer Award from the group.

“Zoe Stein has worked hard to make sure that her friends, family, and community all know about the benefits of healthy vegan eating,” peta2 Division Manager Marta Holmberg said in a press release. “The compassion, energy, and dedication it took to organize a community-wide event sets a great example not just for young activists but for anyone who wants to make a difference for animals.”

peta2’s Street Team ^[1] is a group of young activists dedicated to helping animals through in-person events, online campaigns, and social media. Stein, who also serves on peta2’s Youth Advisory Board ^[2], will receive a framed certificate and a letter signed by peta2 staffers.

She said she plans to keep the event going annually.
