This month I am interviewing a very unique group of people, the whole...
KidzPost Crew!
Below will be a description about each person's page(s) and an answer to these questions:
#1 What is the purpose of your page?
#2 How do you hope it will impact the community?
Let me give you some backround information on how and why the Columbia Kidzpost was started. Four years ago the original editors of KidzPost took a leadership class called Passion2Build. This class taught us that leaders envision solutions to community problems. During the class, we interviewed State Delegate Liz Bobo to understand more about leaders by talking to one. We learned that leaders listen, study problems, take action and do not just preserve "the ways things always have been". So we Passion2Builders decided we wanted to take action on a problem affecting kids in the community. After talking with Liz Bobo, we concluded that kids don’t have a lot of ways to get news in Columbia; and that is a big issue. Kids need to be aware of what is happening just as much as adults do.
We then started brainstorming ideas to solve the dilemma and finally thought of the idea of a newsletter. At first, our goal was to inform kids about events in Columbia, and to entertain them. Now, our goals are to entertain, inform and inspire our peers.
For example, let’s take my page. The purpose of my page is to inform Howard County kids about their peers who are leaders and take action to benefit wour community. I really hope this page will inspire others to take action in ways that build our community. Hannah McFadden, my last interviewee, mentioned she trained 16-18 hours a week. As a result, she made it to the 2012 Paralympics in London, and is now someone others look up to.
Now let me introduce you to the other KidzPost Editors:
