Free the Children is a registered non profit charitable children's
organization existing in more than 20 countries in the world and growing every day. Only children under the age of 18 within the organization vote on decisions regarding policy and projects or act as spokespersons for children or for the organization. Youth 18 and over act as mentors or chaperones and help with administration and leadership development. Most of the work of Free the Children takes place on a local level among children who have formed groups in their schools, neighborhoods, religious centers, communities, or among their friends. Children make decisions regarding projects they undertake and organize the actions themselves. Other children's groups run by children with similar goals are also welcome under the umbrella of Free the Children. Children are linked through national teams and an international secretariat.
Over a period of four years, Free the Children has grown into an international children’s organization active in more than 20 countries. Over 100,000 children have participated in Free the Children campaigns
and activities.
