KidSpirit, Global Platform by and for Youth, Is Now Associated with the UN

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Aug. 19, 2021 - PRLog -- KidSpirit (kidspiritonline.com), the world's only youth-led platform to explore life's big questions, is excited to announce it is now associated with the United Nations through both the Department of Global Communications and the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). The organization is proud to offer the next generation this new avenue to share their voices with a global audience and collaborate with other changemakers to build a better, more inclusive future.

KidSpirit is a nonprofit online magazine and community by and for youth to engage each other about life's big questions in an open spirit. Its mission is to promote mutual understanding among 11- to 17-year-olds of diverse backgrounds and support their development into world citizens with strong inner grounding. In its 13 years, KidSpirit has published writing, artwork, and video by hundreds of kids from 30 countries on meaningful topics, such as human dignity, unity and diversity, power, climate change, education, society and the individual, gender, money, and peacemaking. Its unique platform reaches 250,000 readers from 190 countries each year, plus many more through syndication.

ECOSOC is the UN body responsible for advancing economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. As an NGO with ECOSOC consultative status, KidSpirit will represent the voices of these hundreds of young thinkers by attending official meetings, contributing oral and written statements, meeting with official delegations and representatives, organizing events during ECOSOC sessions, and participating in debates and panel discussions.

As an NGO associated with the UN Department of Global Communications, KidSpirit representatives will be granted access to open meetings of the UN and invited to attend thematic briefings featuring UN officials, Member States delegates, and other experts from the civil society community.
