About

Pulse Spikes is a nonprofit organization for and by youth dedicated to inspiring and empowering the next generation of changemakers. Pulse Spikes began in 2015 as a publication introducing young visionaries in art, entertainment, and technology. Today, our coverage is not limited to specific topics or industries, but rather seeks to spotlight young people who are creating positive change in their local and global communities in all forms, celebrating their efforts and inspiring others to take action as well. 

At the core, Pulse Spikes is driven by a community of young artists, journalists, and technologists who passionately believe in the power of young people to build a better future.
