Our Mission

Our mission is to inform, engage, and empower your child

We know that this generation is a powerful force for good

“They are incredibly curious, well-informed, determined, kind children. What’s even more amazing is that they have a sense of immediacy — they want to turn ideas into action today. Knowing and understanding this generation the way only The Week Junior does is what drives us forward every day.”

—Andrea Barbalich, Editor-in-Chief

Kids are on a mission; we speak to them with respect.

The Week Junior reports news directly to kids ages 8-14, presenting the facts that help them understand their world so they can develop—and share—their own points of view. We meet them at eye level, helping to foster a lifetime love of reading, learning, and action.

"When kids are respected, they rise to new levels—and they meet or transcend expectations."
