"At the Kids Teaching Kids conference you inspired hundreds and hundreds of kids, just like us girls who participated in kids teaching kids to do anything we possibly can and for someone to do that so naturally was something amazing to be a part of."
Sarah Pilkington, South Gippsland Secondary College
 
"Thank you all so much. Kids learnt a lot and so did I! Great to use teenagers as group leaders. I loved being part of a group and not being the teacher / leader. I am so glad we presented a workshop - I believe we got more out of Kids Teaching Kids because of this."
Ann Dickinson, Teacher, St Johns Primary Portland
 
"Kids Teaching Kids was great and for a community so small, I think it will be good for us and the community. It's good to know that we can make a difference."
Megan Nolan, Student, Panmure PS
 
"It was totally magnificent. So full and "Memories Forever" as one of the students said on the way back to Launceston. Every aspect of the Kids Teaching Kids conference was wonderful."
Rocelyn Ives, Teacher, Launceston Primary School
 
"Kids Teaching Kids is a great idea - I am glad I was part of this program."
Callum King, Student, Tamworth Public School
 
"The Kids Teaching Kids program inspired on-ground action, developed student advocacy skills and achieved tangible environmental change through the use of education for sustainability and schools as an entry point for the wider community to get involved."

"Young People are increasingly concerned about the environment and climate change. But many feel overwhelmed by the enormity of the problems and are not sure if their actions will have an impact. Arron and Richard Wood's successful method of engaging youth on the big environmental challenges facing our planet is truly inspiring. They bring renewed hope for encouraging activism by future generations. Educators know that students retain 90 percent of what they learn and then teach each other. The Woods have capitalised on this strategy and, in the process, have given youth the tools they need to find solutions to critical global issues. Arron and Richard developed this highly effective model for Australian schools. The UN Works Programme is collaborating with them to integrate this approach into educational outreach to students around the world."
Carmel Mulvany, Then Chief, UN Works Programme, United Nations New York.
 
"Great work and well done to all Kids Teaching Kids staff and volunteers. The conference was even bigger and better in 2005! We will continue to use the 'Kids Teaching Kids' model in our school and look forward to being involved in future conferences. Great fresh ideas for the environmental project day."
Britt Gow, Hawkesdale P12 College
