Adobe Youth Voices
Adobe Youth Voices is the Adobe Foundation’s global philanthropic initiative that empowers youth from underserved communities worldwide to comment on their world using multimedia and digital tools to communicate and share their ideas, demonstrate their potential, and take action in their communities.
The program’s goal is to empower young people, 13-18 years old, to create with purpose and to comment on their world by using multimedia and digital tools. Youth are expressing what they care about through documentary film-making, photography, print journalism, and radio diaries, Web communications and other media to underserved communities around the globe. The Adobe Youth Voices global network now includes 158 sites, grantees, and organizations, in 31 countries engaging over 15,000 youth and 500 educators in schools and out of school programs.

WKCD
Voices and vision from the next generation
Using the Internet, print, and broadcast media, WKCD presses before the broadest audience possible a dual message: the power of what young people can accomplish when given the opportunities and supports they need and what they can contribute when we take their voices and ideas seriously. The youth who concern WKCD most are those marginalized by poverty, race, and language.
Starting in 2006, WKCD began working with youth worldwide. WKCD has become an international leader in bringing the promise of young people to the attention of the adults whose encouragement can make all the difference.
