NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
As part of Nickelodeon's
commitment to recognize real kids who are making a difference in the
world, the network is launching the Nickelodeon
HALO Movement, a new year-round pro-social initiative
celebrating kids who are helping and leading others (HALO). Beginning
this month, Nickelodeon is teaming up with longstanding volunteer
partners Key Club and DoSomething.org to mobilize kids to participate in
service projects, for the opportunity to receive seed grants or
scholarship funds for school. WeHALO.com provides
information on how to participate in the Nickelodeon HALO
Movement and apply for HALO grants through Key
Club and DoSomething.org.
As part of the Nickelodeon HALO Movement, Key Club, a student-led
volunteer organization sponsored by Kiwanis International, will provide
its members with opportunities to participate in service projects that
can be submitted for a chance to receive seed grants to further support
their cause. DoSomething.org, the largest tech platform for young people
and social change, will select monthly scholarship winners who
participate in and complete their campaigns.
On WeHALO.com,
the digital hub for the Nickelodeon HALO Movement, users can
submit videos, photos or notes showing how they are helping and leading
others, for the opportunity to be featured on the site. WeHALO.com also
provides tips and information on ways to get involved in the community
and allows users to share their HALO moments using #WeHALO.
The Nickelodeon HALO Movementbuilds on the HALO Awards,
an annual concert event honoring young community leaders, and The
HALO Effect, the 2016 docu-series that gave viewers an in-depth look
into the inspirational stories of teens who are eager to share the
issues important to them.
