IndyKids is a free newspaper, website and teaching tool that aims to inform children on current news and world events from a progressive perspective and to inspire a passion for social justice and learning. It is geared toward kids in grades 4 to 8 and high school English Language Learners. IndyKids is produced monthly during the school year (September through May) with five print editions and four online editions.

IndyKids believes that it is the people, through grassroots organizations and movement-building, who make social change. We believe that kids understand what is happening around them and the truth does not have to be sanitized.  IndyKids aims to engage young kids to understand that they can form their own opinions and become part of the larger movement for justice and peace.
