When kids make the world go WOW!...

...the world must listen.

As a team, we believe that kids are not only the leaders of tomorrow, they can be leaders today. Many children out there have a longing desire to contribute to making their own futures bright. They realize how much older generations have acted in many ways that undermine their quality of life in the future. And today, they are beginning to lead all of us in thinking deeply about the way we think and act. Severn Suzuki, at the age of twelve, spoke passionately at the 1992 UN Earth Summit about how older generations were contributing to the environmental crisis.

Severn Suzuki speaks at the 1992 UN Earth Summit:


This Thursday between 5pm and 6:30pm, at the Ticknor Lounge in Harvard Yard, the kids that we have been working with will make presentations about what they have learned this term from our program. Their presentations will serve the same purpose that Severn's served: to reach out to us, members of older generations, and challenge the way we think and act.

We hope that you can join us on Thursday to witness how kids are leading today.
