About Kids Are Heroes
Parents need to know that this is a fledgling site that could be the start of something big. Created in 2008 by a nine-year-old girl and her dad, this site highlights kids who are using their lives to better their little corner of the planet -- or even the entire world. With a little more time and publicity, this site could be a major force for good in youth volunteerism.
