Since 2017, we, the reporters of ChildPress have been making real change! ChildPress gives us the tools and a platform to create our own news and speak up about the issues that matter to us—whether it’s in our neighborhoods or around the world.

It all starts in places we know, like our classrooms or local libraries. With help from local journalists, we learn everything we need to know about being real reporters—how to research, investigate, and tell the stories that need to be heard.

Covering crucial children’s individual stories requires a close look at who they are and where they are. The specific children will find the right match with resourceful adults who can be there for them.

Through ChildPress, we get to run our own media organization, dig deep into topics we care about, interview decision-makers at every level, and share our stories online and in print.

ChildPress flips the traditional way of news. Instead of adults talking about what’s important to children, we take charge and report on what’s important to us. It’s our voices, our stories, and our change.
