Young People Who Rock


Young People Who Rock is a weekly interview series focused on people under 30 - from CEOs to entertainers to athletes to community and political leaders - who are doing remarkable things. Nicole Lapin finds them and introduces them here by writing a weekly column that goes out in time for you to chime in before she interviews them Fridays on CNN.com Live.

W.K. Kellogg Foundation


W.K. Kellogg’s compassion and his belief in the promise and the importance of children were clear in the name he chose for the organization he created in 1930: the W.K. Kellogg Child Welfare Foundation. While the organization name was soon shortened to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the focus on protecting, nurturing and supporting opportunities for children has continued to this day.

TED


TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with the annual TED Conference in Long Beach, California, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK, TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Program, the new TEDx community program, this year's TEDIndia Conference and the annual TED Prize.
