AVAILABLE ON THE YOUTUBE ORIGINALS FOR KIDS & FAMILY CHANNEL

WHAT:

Today, YouTube Originals launched three new episodes of "Kid Correspondent," with kid anchors Riah and Titus and their crew of young reporters helping families as they get ready to go back to school. This latest batch of "Kid Correspondent" episodes features appearances from "guest grown-ups" Hoda Kotb, Roi Fabito, and Auli'i Cravalho. Episodes 1, 2 and 3 are free-to-stream today on the YouTube Originals for Kids & Family and the SoulPancake channels. "Kid Correspondent" will also be available through the YouTube Kids app.

In addition to today's new episodes, "Kid Correspondent" will return later this year with additional three-episode installments focused on topics like Sustainability (October) and Holidays (November/December). Special guest grown-ups for later installments include Sophia Bush, Rainn Wilson, Marcus Samuelsson, The Merrell Twins and Jerry O'Connell.

"Kid Correspondent," from SoulPancake and Participant, is an inquiry-based kids and family program from the creators of Kid President that helps explore important lessons in a fun and approachable way while inspiring kids and families to take action. Each episode follows co-anchors Riah and Titus and their team of kid reporters - Chloe, Christian, Ava, Viviona, Maya, Jack, Marcus and Rosie - as they investigate relevant topics through recurring segments like Kid on the Street, Ask A Grown-Up, Kid of the Week, Pep Talk and the Dance Party.

Each of the new episodes helps kids answer a big question they might have as they return to school:

· Are You Ready to Go Back to School?: Our kid correspondents do some serious pre-season training to learn about practicing, preparing and thinking positively, while uncovering everything kids need to know to make sure their backpacks are full and their minds are focused.

· How Can I Be A Great Friend?: Our reporters bump up their friendship skills at Best Friend Boot Camp, talk to other kids about their friends, and get the inside scoop on all the dos and don'ts of friendship (like sharing, caring and not comparing!).

· How Can I Fail Awesomely?: Making mistakes can feel terrible, but what if making mistakes was actually a good thing? Our Daring Reporter dares kids to learn from their mistakes, double dares them to try again, and helps them discover what it means to have resilience.

Last year, on the "Kid Correspondent" Election Special, Riah and a crew of kid reporters investigated the democratic process and learned life lessons like how to have healthy disagreements, or how to use a decision tree to help make tough decisions. "Kid Correspondent" also featured guest appearances from celebrities and YouTube Creators including Kristen Bell, Mandy Moore, Rainn Wilson, Soledad O'Brien, Robin Roberts, Lisa Loeb, Rosanna Pansino and more.

"Kid Correspondent" is produced by SoulPancake, a division of Participant. Executive Producers are Julie Merson, Jenny Kubo, Brad Montague and Golriz Lucina. Brian Clark and Amy DePaola are co-executive producers. Nadine Zylstra is head of the YouTube Originals Learning, Impact and Kids & Families team. Daniel Haack oversees "Kid Correspondent" for YouTube Originals.

Participant is the leading media company dedicated to entertainment that inspires audiences to engage in positive social action.
