Millennium Kids

Millennium Kids are calling all peoples and nations to join them in bold strategic action to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Millennium Kids’ volunteer staff teach MDG workshops for schools, social justice conferences, faith communities and camps with a view to encouraging youth to explore student advocacy for the MDGs with gratitude for efforts made so far. Millennium kids/youth have gathered petition signatures for the MDGs, written and tweeted letters to the Prime Minister and Minister of International Development, met with members of parliament, requested appearances before government standing committees, travelled to the House of Commons for the tabling of their MDG petition. In December 2014, a 14-yr-old millennium kid spoke at the United Nations, NYC, challenging faith leaders to finish well on the MDGs.

The spokes-youth of this movement are every youth born in the year 2000, the same year every United Nation country signed a global pledge to spare no effort to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015. Their lives provide a measuring stick for the progress of 193 nations pursuing the MDGs by 2015. In any race it's the home stretch that matters most!
