High school: Peachtree Ridge High School, Duluth, Georgia
In May 2014, Griffin started FoodFinderGA.org, a geolocating native-mobile website that helps food-insecure kids find the closest free food resources to them. He used an Indiegogo campaign to fund the site, which has received more than 6,000 unique visitors.
Griffin told BI that 40,000 or more kids in Gwinnett County, Georgia, leave school every day not knowing where they will get their next meal; these "food-insecure" kids can jump on FoodFinderGA, which uses geolocation-based technology to point out the closest free meal. In 2014, the site won the Technology Association of Georgia's Excalibur Award for the most creative use of technology to solve a complex problem.
By the end of the school year, FoodFinderGA will span the entire state of Georgia, including more than 2,300 public schools, 1.7 million students, and 1,700 free providers across the state.
Plans after graduation: Griffin will attend the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in the fall to pursue a bachelor's in business administration, and plans to learn how to grow and create value through business.
