The Little Renegades Academy (LRA): Helping kids write and publish books, do science experiments, and express emotion in their art.

The Little Renegades Academy is a youth-led nonprofit that does purpose projects with kids. Its mission is to shift education from being information-based (passive) to being project-based (active) because it believes autonomy in the classroom is best for learning.
