Have you ever met a kid so driven and thoughtful that you can’t believe they’re still just growing up? At Disney, we call these Citizen Kids: ordinary kids who are doing extraordinary things.
Like Walt Disney himself, it’s as if each Citizen Kid was born with their destiny already known to them, and it’s only a matter of time until they make it a reality. But that doesn’t mean any kid should have to do it on their own.
Here’s a preview so you can meet a few of the Citizen Kids we’ve already found:
You can join us by by using #CitizenKid on Twitter, Facebook, and across social media and telling us about a Citizen Kid (or many) you know. While you call out the Citizen Kids in your life, we’ll be doing the same. Over the next month, keep checking back to Disney Insider as we profile exceptional Cast Members across The Walt Disney Company who themselves were once Citizen Kids. With their families and friends at their sides, these Citizen Kids grew up into leaders, innovators, and pioneers, and Disney just wouldn’t be the same without them.

I love that this kids are getting reconized for doing good in their communities and around the world. I talked with one young person, that said yes the media helped their cause but they didn’t do it to become famous . They saw a need amd wanted to help. But they said if the media does it right it will encourage more young people to help.
