About
Welcome to YOCee – a kids’ community website, created by children, for children of Chennai!
Founded : Nov. 2006
What is this website all about?
A cyberspace where you can access information on classes you could sign up for, fun destinations for holidays, books recently released for kids, info on places for afterschool activities, contests you can participate and win prizes. And anything that interests you in your city – Chennai. Also get to know more about the children in the city, who make news.
In short, YOCee – Youth Of Chennai, energetic and enthusiastic – is the hub for the young people of Chennai
Now, how did this all start?
Revathi, the anchorperson of this website and who has a background in finance, had worked with kids on many projects. A desire to make the children share news concerning them and events that interest them, made her help a group of kids to bring out a scribble magazine.
With more kids and parents looking for help online, a blog – www.kiddiesdayout.blogspot.com was born. The feedback from the users wanting to know more about activities, classes and contests in the city encouraged the blog to graduate into a website in Nov. 2006. Thus www.yocee.in was born.
YOCee introduced annual Student Reporter programme in the year 2007 so that the kids get hands-on training and guidance in reporting.
Why isn’t YOCee just like any other children’s website?
Kids came together to contribute ideas of colour scheme, designs and pages of the website. You can find the names of the young people who contributed to each page of this website.
The news reports are mostly by kids who are part of the Student Reporter programme.
And hence www.yocee.in is a website for and by kids, which makes it different from other kids web sites.
How can you be part of it?
Any child studying in any Chennai school who has an idea or info to share through interesting writing can be part of this web site.
You can send us news about events in and around your area, be it photos of celebration in your colony, school programs, your or your schoolmate’s achievements or your drawings, sketches…
What is there for parents?
News and details of useful activities for kids, books and products you can buy or recommend to your kids, places you can take your children on outings and a blog that discusses issues news from the world all over relating to children.
