Hello, communicators:

Home goods chain Crate & Barrel is launching a “Kid Activist” program through its Crate & Kids brands designed to identify and support young activists. The company will select four young changemakers to receive a room makeover intended to create a space for innovation and creativity, a donation to the cause of their choice—and a presence on Crate & Kids’ social handles along with the chance to work with brand leaders at the company’s first-ever Kid Activist Summit. The press release notes that all interactions will take place with the consent and guidance of parents and legal guardians.
