Epic Change believes everyone has the capacity to change the world.

Kids are especially great innovators because they’re fearless and they’ve got great imaginations. So we’re looking for children across the globe to help us start a kid-powered revolution.

From the US to Tanzania, children are participating in raising funds and awareness for Epic Change by holding lemonade stands, collecting change, writing penpal letters and, in Africa, by designing postcards, greeting cards, art and jewelry for sale to help raise money for their school. Just this weekend, the children in Tanzania raised nearly $1500 by donating small items from their homes – from khangas (local attire) to chickens – to auction off to raise money for their school. Now, that’s kid power! Check out the note Mama Lucy sent us today here to learn more about this amazing accomplishment.

Our biggest little Epic Changemaker so far in the US has been my niece Zoe; she’s only 9, but she’s making a huge difference. Check out what the little redhead and her friends have been up to in her video:

On Zoe’s new Kid-Powered Revolution page at www.epicchange.org/kids, we’ve provided five ideas for how children can get involved in our efforts – and have fun – all at the same time. On the site, we’ve also introduced our “story sandbox,” which includes our new Flickr and YouTube groups for kids, where children can contribute their own artwork and video stories to share with students in Tanzania, and see what other young people have submitted so far. It’s really interesting to hear from the kids, so even if you’re only young at heart, take a look at www.epicchange.org/kids to see what they’re up to!

Whether they’re budding artists or entrepreneurs, we hope your kids, their friends and all the children you love will participate in our kid-powered revolution. Please pass this along to other parents and educators you know who may be interested in innovative ways to encourage children to make a difference.

PS: If you’re a grown-up, we’ve recently published a new way for you to get involved as well: join us on a trip to Tanzania this summer. We’ve posted all the details here on our blog, so check it out. I can assure you it will be the experience of a lifetime.
