Homegrown lemonade stands, recycling initiatives, neighborhood do-gooders- we all know some pretty cool kids turned changemakers.
Disney is celebrating young agents of change by launching a new Citizen Kid campaign, kicking off with a Google Hangout co-hosted by Huffington Post on August 27 from 10 a.m.-11a.m. PST.
The live, online event will see parents from Disney’s Citizen Kid web series, plus bloggers from Babble.com come together to share ways they’ve enouraged their children to embrace their own unique interests and talents and use them for good, accomplishing extraordinary things in their communities along the way.
Farah Miller, Executive Editor of Huffington Post’s Family + Relationships section will lead the roundtable discussion, and viewers can join the conversation with questions, comments, and their own stories by using #CitizenKid on Twitter and Facebook.
Can’t watch live? A video of the Hangout will be posted on Babble’s YouTube page post event.
View episodes of Citizen Kid at disney.com/citizenkid, with new episodes released every Wednesday.

How awesome that they are doing this. There certainly are some extraordinary kids out there!
Kids really can teach us so much if we just give them the opportunity.
Never heard of citizen kid, sounds like something fun and maybe something my daughter would be interested in looking into.
I love the idea of this campaign– did not know about it until today, so I will have to watch the recorded segment.
What an awesome campaign! I hadn’t heard of it before. I’ll be happy to help spread the word!
What a great idea! I saw your CitizenKid on FB! Pretty good stuff Pilar!
What a great campaign. So many kids are doing extraordinary things. Great to be recognized.
I love the new #CitizenKid initiative that just goes to show that kids can do absolutely anything and be incredible agents of change when given the opportunity!
