Contest Encourages Youth to Take Action for Wildlife and Habitats
Sacramento, California (March 14, 2024) – Kind News™ children’s magazine and Earth Rangers, a charity that empowers kids and families to have a real and positive impact on the environment, are excited to announce their 2024 Kind News “Earth Ranger of the Year” contest! The contest launches before Earth Month and was created to encourage young people to take action for wildlife and habitats through special missions available on the free Earth Rangers App. The contest is open to children ages 5-13 years old in the United States. 
Entering the contest is easy:
- Sign up as a participant.
- Download the Earth Rangers App – available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store – and join their free membership program.
- Complete an Earth Rangers Mission to help wildlife.
- Have a parent or caregiver submit the designated form once the mission is completed.
Earth Rangers missions involve a variety of hands-on activities to complete at home and with others in the community that make it easy and fun for kids to learn about wildlife and conservation. The missions show children how to make a real impact —from tackling single-use plastic and organizing litter cleanups to helping pollinators by planting native flowers, and more!
Prizes include:
- A Feature in the March/April 2025 Kind News issue
- A $100 gift card for Earth Rangers wildlife merchandise
- An Earth Rangers t-shirt
- A home or classroom subscription to Kind News
Every child entering the contest will receive a digital animal adoption in the Earth Rangers app! Kids can choose from a variety of animals and every adoption comes with an animal image that shows up in their app items, as well as a digital adoption certificate.
Entries must be received by 5 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on Wednesday, May 15, 2024. Winners will be notified by May 29, 2024.
