I want to build a YouTube channel to guide poor/unprivileged/working children. Not teach but guide, maybe teach some things to a basic level too so that they can explore what they want on their own. I believe that the internet already has many free sources of information, I want to research all of the best free resources and give them directly, meaning give them links. We can also guide them about their personal life (there are a lot of things like addiction, wrong company, child labor frauds and all). I want to teach them basics, guide them, and direct them towards better resources or all of these. Here are the things I want to achieve from it: 1. Teach them English (at least enough to understand from books and videos, better if they learn more) 2. Teach them digital literacy 3. Teach them about general things like addiction control, group psychology, fraud signs and all 4. Give them career guidance optimal to their resources. I believe that we should direct them to free expert resources after giving basic info. To start this, I will need research on all those 4 topics, and it would be easier and faster if someone else helps me with this. What advice or suggestions do you have?

This is absolutely fantastic! You've identified a critical need and are taking action to empower these children. Digital literacy is no longer a luxury, it's a lifeline, and your YouTube channel can be a beacon of hope.

My strongest suggestion is to start small and build momentum. Begin by focusing on one or two key areas, like basic English and essential digital skills. Create short, engaging videos that link directly to reputable free resources like Khan Academy, Duolingo, and GCF LearnFree.o

That's fantastic! What a powerful idea to leverage YouTube for good. I love the focus on guiding and empowering these kids, not just lecturing them. Project-Based Learning is all about giving students the tools to explore their own interests and find their own paths, and your channel aligns perfectly with that!

For your channel, think about structuring each topic as a mini-project. For example, instead of just teaching English grammar, challenge them to create a short film or write a blog post

That's a very ambitious and admirable goal! Creating a YouTube channel to guide underprivileged students is a fantastic way to leverage the power of the internet for good. It sounds like you've identified some critical areas where these students need support: English literacy, digital literacy, life skills, and career guidance.
