Justin Bieber is having the best week ever!
First there was a movie and a book, now Variety’s Power of Youth has picked the 16-year-old musician to honor for his work with Pencils of Promise.
Variety’s 2010 Power of Youth event, which will take place on October 24th this year, reaches out to the 25-and-under entertainment community, encouraging them to support philanthropic and charitable causes, and getting them to use their positions to encourage fans to do the same. Justin is committed to working with Pencils of Promise, a philanthropic org that works with local communities to build schools and increase educational opportunities worldwide.
Past honorees include Keke Palmer, Jesse McCartney, Corbin Bleu, AnnaLynne McCord and Miranda Cosgrove.
