Thanks to Our Donors to our Smart Kids Make Smart Consumers Campaign
A million thank yous go out to every one of our donors to this campaign which supports our highly successful KIDS FIRST! Film Critics program and provide you, our readers, with access to reviews created by our youth film critics who review all the latest films rated PG-13 and younger.
Our goal was to raise $30,000 in 150 days and we raised $32,565! This program engages youth, teaches them invaluable writing and oral communication skills and gives them a voice. Our youth critics’ film reviews are seen by more than 20 million people a month through our TV, radio, print and online partners.
Parents have told us how much their kids have gotten out of the program. “With the KIDS FIRST! thorough training, our daughter now has real tools to help her formulate her opinions, communicate her thoughts and inspire others to evaluate what they are being offered in the medium,” says one parent. Another added, “This experience has definitely helped my daughter with her confidence level and has enhanced her critical thinking skills.”
Help us help kids. No couch potatoes on our watch; these kids are active media users.
KIDS FIRST! Film Critics is a project of the 21-year-old national nonprofit, Coalition for Quality Children’s Media – a 501-c-3 organization. Your donation is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
