We just received news that Craig Kielburger is the winner of the 2006 World Children’s Prize! Congratulations to Craig and Free The Children on this incredible accomplishment. Read more about it in this newsletter!

It’s April already, and summer is on the horizon. We commend you on all your amazing accomplishments so far! The time has come to begin thinking about how to finish this year with a bang and to set the stage for next year. The end of the school year brings much excitement, as well as many questions: Which group members are graduating? Do we need to hold elections for new positions? The summer arrives quickly, so be sure to meet with your group soon to start planning for next year.

Once you and your group decide, remember to update us at Free The Children with your new information so we can continue to keep in touch. To register as a Youth in Action group, or to update your leader/contact information, click here!

Continue your social action and improve your leadership skills this summer at the Toronto Take Action! Academy. On August 6-13, youth from across the world will gather in Toronto to learn about social issues, develop as leaders, and learn how to exercise their power to make a difference. Space is filling up fast, so sign up today.

Keep on shining,

The Youth Programming Team
