Kidlink is a non-profit, global organization with idealistic motives that has worked with online educational programs since its start in 1990. Its purpose is to provide global networking for youth through the secondary school level.
The Who-Am-I? online program runs with two schedules, one for the southern and one for the northern hemisphere. Its main goal is to help teachers enhance their existing curriculums. This is achieved by inviting their students to join an exciting program having a meaning that youth find relevant, and by giving the students an audience. Click here to see how it works.

The program's financial needs

In a program of this scale, Kidlink must pay key people to make sure the overall eight-month work schedule is kept, and critical support will be provided in a timely manner.
Kidlink's  infrastructure remains free to use. We are not asking you to help pay managers of our mailing lists or chat network or web server to do what they usually do. This remains free work done by volunteers.

Recognition

Kidlink will gratefully acknowledge the generous support of all sponsors on the program's sponsor page, as well as on Kidlink's general sponsor web page. There's a prominent link to the program's sponsor page from the Press Information Kit page.
