Kid Scoop

For more than 25 years, Kid Scoop has been creating award-winning educational materials designed to get even the most reluctant readers reading their local newspapers on a weekly basis. Kid Scoop is guided by the belief that the First Amendment may be our most important Amendment, and that in order for our democracy to truly function all must participate.

In 2007, Althea funded the establishment of Kid Scoop Foundation, whose diverse programs are designed to encourage student writing, initiate greater civic participation, and promote awareness of local, national, and international news. In April 2010 the White House recognized Kid Scoop’s efforts to promote literacy and health by inviting them to the launch of the First Lady’s “Let’s Move!” initiative. Kid Scoop sent a young reporter to cover the story, which was published nationally by Kid Scoop and on the front page of the Free Lance Star in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
