Nickelodeon believes in the power of kids to create change in themselves, their communities, and the world. Nickelodeon’s Our World helps kids realize their agency and become the changemakers our communities need. This fund, supported by Nickelodeon, is dedicated to empowering kids with resources and support to bring to life projects that might otherwise go unfunded. Working with a grown-up co-leader, kids will actively lead projects focused on play, mental health & empathy and civics & current events and have the chance to shape their communities for the better.
