Are you inspired to start your own Ed Board or connect with another one in your area? It’s easier than you think, and we would love to hear from you!

KidSpirit is led by an all-youth network of editors around the world. Editorial Boards meet regularly to review each other’s submissions, brainstorm quarterly themes, vote on the annual KidSpirit Awards, and discuss life’s big questions. Please visit our Community page to see a complete list of our current Ed Boards.

Welcome, artists!

KidSpirit is always looking for photographs, paintings, collages, drawings, even doodles you make on the sides of your notebook. If you have any art you are proud of, especially pieces that relate to our upcoming themes, you can submit them here.

KidSpirit also publishes original art as the online “cover” of each issue. Keep in mind that art for the cover must be horizontal — take a look at the size and shape of our standard cover art here. Cover art should evoke the theme of one of our upcoming issues.
