Magazine Made By Kids

Santa Barbara Kids Magazine, the only area youth-led publication of its kind, released its second issue this week. With a circulation of 10,000 copies, the free magazine is an advertising-based publication that donates 100 percent of its profits to local charities. It targets kids 15 years old and younger and features stories, puzzles, jokes, and games. The young founders selected Direct Relief International, Heal the Ocean, and Storyteller Children’s Center as the recipients of the approximately $6,200 profit the magazine made. The current issue focuses on local kids as “change makers” in the community and world.
