Social Entrepreneurship

When Bellen was in grade 3, a classmate asked her for the "skin color" crayon. That started her thinking: why is the peach crayon called "skin color" when people have all different shades of skin? Her mother suggested she offer the brown crayon, but Bellen wanted to make a bigger change, so she started speaking to people about this issue: first her class, then her school, and eventually the world. At the age of nine, Bellen started her own line of inclusive school supplies, creating inclusive skin toned crayons that recognized people of every color and shade.

Twin brothers Jake and Max started noticing problems in the world when they were four years old and wanted to help. And although they did a lot of amazing things, they kept hitting the same problem: they were too young to volunteer and help in the ways they wanted. Jake and Max decided to create a website called Kids That Do Good. Their website has two goals: to help connect kids with organizations that will let them volunteer and to show the world that kids really do make a difference.
