What Kids Can Do
What Kids Can Do (WKCD) is a national nonprofit founded in January 2001 by an educator and journalist with more than 40 years' combined experience supporting adolescent learning in and out of school. Together, they felt an urgent need to promote perceptions of young people as valued resources, not problems, and to advocate for learning that engages students as knowledge creators and not simply test takers. Just as urgent, they believed, was the need to bring youth voices to policy debates about school, society, and world affairs.

Youth Communication
Youth Communication,founded in 1980 by executive director Keith Hefner, helps teenagers improve their writing and reading skills through the publication of teen-written magazines and books. We also use the writing process to help teens think about difficult personal issues in their lives, particularly the young people who write for our foster care magazine.
