Describe what this winner does/did: 
Tara started Tree Musketeers which is run entirely by young people. The goal of Tree Musketeers is to teach kids how to take action to save the planet. The idea is that it's more interesting, fun, and effective when kids learn from other kids. Tree Musketeers organizes programs where kids teach their peers about environmental conservation.

Three Musketeers continues to be run by children. The current president is Adam Girard, a 9th grader with big plans for how kids can change their communities. Three Musketeers still plants trees in Southern California and other locations nationwide. TM also provides leadership training and experience to young people that are 10 -18 years old.

When Tara isn’t volunteering with Three Musketeers, she is a litigation attorney in L.A. She also raises money for causes that she cares about, such as the environment, women, children, and political change. Tara also volunteers at the Wealth & Giving Forum. Best of all, Tara is thrilled that Do Something has grown and is still serving young activists!
