About KiDz HuB
KiDz HuB is a 501 c3 non-profit with a mission to train and mentor youth as Junior Broadcasters and provide various platforms for them to engage the world.
We bring together kids, tweens, and teens from across the world and through mentorship, and training, we are empowering them to be a part of social change.
Here at KiDz HuB, our mission is to give 'HuBBers' the tools necessary to effectively navigate their way in the communication age. We equip these kids, tweens, and teens with the ability to evaluate the content that they consume, as well as giving them the tools to be content creators as well.
Our network of Junior Broadcasters, Editors, Writers, Bloggers, and Vloggers are currently located all over the world but collaborate to enrich each other's work.
1. Media Training & Mentorship
We are grateful for all the media professionals who continue to volunteer their time and expertise to the mentorship of our "Hubbers." Our goal is to sharpen/provide these youth with a set of tools for success in the future.
2. Leadership Training & Civic Engagement
Our program teaches youth that they are not too small to make a big impact. Our coverage and spotlight focus on youth that is making a difference in the community are key to getting our Hubbers to 'switch on' to the world around them.
The Junior Advisory Board, as well as our award system, rewards and incentivize them to step up and lead.
3. Youth-Adult Mentorship/Partnership
Though our mission centers around youth and media, as part of the centerpiece of our program, is a focus on giving our youth members opportunities to interview and explore and-and gain more in-depth knowledge and experience of various professions.
Through the research process involved in preparing for an interview, or to cover an event, hubbers learn a wealth of information that they can use to help them effectively select a career in the future.
Professionals in various types of jobs have opportunity to provide mentorship to an aspiring doctor, engineer or programmer through weekend, scheduled or Summer internships.
4. International Collaboration & Cultural Awareness
KiDz HuB Media Network partner with local, national and international organizations and initiative that seeks to create media spaces for youth. We work with partner organizations to support the importance of the youth voice on a wide variety of issues concerning youth across the globe by creating or facilitating the ventilation of those issues. Youth within our network develops friendship across the globe as they collaborate to be a part of the discussions - the precursor to creating solutions
