Premios Juventud 2017 changed its format this year and expanded its focus to social causes that directly affect Hispanic communities by adding the “Agentes de Cambio” (Agents of Change) category to the awards, inspired by the artists, performers and presenters who have become powerful voices for a variety of causes. Six Hispanic achievers under the age of 30 from throughout the country will be recognized on the PJ 2017 stage for their grass-roots advocacy on behalf of the environment, education and social inclusion.
“In keeping with the spirit of Premios Juventud this year and the focus on social action, we are pleased to add the surprise performance of Shakira with Coldplay, thanks to Global Citizen, an organization focused on eradicating poverty and making the world a better place through the actions of each and every citizen," said Univision’s President of Music Jorge “Pepo” Ferradas.
Wilver Valderrama was one of the celebrities that had the honor in celebrating the outstanding work of the youth with the "Agentes de Cambio" award. Joining the former "That 70s Show" star is "Orange Is The New Block" actress Diane Guerrero. The six "Agentes de Cambio" were Iván Ceja (26) and Justino Mora (28) from Compton, California, Dante Alvarado León (22) from Berkeley, California, Sarahí Espinosa Salamanca (27) from Palo Alto, California, Xiuhtezcatl Martínez (17) from Boulder, Colorado and Nalleli Cobo (16) from Los Ángeles, California.
