Helping kids everywhere create what they imagine
Learn
The Scratch Foundation helps kids everywhere create what they imagine—and lead with imagination, too! Through our platform, programs, and global community, Scratch empowers millions of young people to express themselves, connect with others, and grow as creative thinkers and changemakers in a space that’s safe, inclusive, and entirely their own.
Scratch Leadership Lab
The Scratch Youth Leadership Lab is a global initiative that amplifies the voices, ideas, and leadership of young people. Through real roles in the Scratch community, participants gain skills in collaboration, mentoring, creative expression, and civic engagement while shaping the future of Scratch itself.
This isn’t a program for the leaders of tomorrow. It’s a space for leaders right now, where kids and teens step into their power, connect across borders, and co-create a more inclusive, creative digital world.
“My experience in the Youth Leadership Lab has been amazing. My favorite part has been sharing our thoughts and ideas with the Scratch Team. Brainstorming potential new features, and discussing them with other members, has been a valuable experience. I appreciate that our input is being used to help make Scratch an even better place.”— Scratcher thecoder114
