Our Mission: Together, We Rise by Helping Others
At Kids Who Help Kids, we believe that compassion and service are learned through action. Our mission drives everything we do: Together, we rise by helping others. This powerful statement reflects our core belief that when children engage in meaningful service, they not only transform their communities but also develop into confident, empathetic leaders.
We've seen firsthand how volunteer service ignites a spark in young people, teaching them that their actions—no matter how small—can create ripple effects of positive change. Through structured programs and guided opportunities, we help children discover their unique potential to make a difference.
What We Do
Community Engagement
We encourage children to get actively involved in community service, creating meaningful connections between young volunteers and local organizations that need support.
Skill Development
We provide children with practical tools, resources, and training to help others effectively, building confidence and leadership skills along the way.
Support Network
We create a supportive environment where children can learn from each other, share experiences, and grow together as compassionate community members.
Kids Who Help Kids is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering a culture of service among children. We believe that by engaging young people in volunteer work early, we're not just addressing immediate community needs—we're cultivating the next generation of civic-minded leaders who will continue making positive impacts throughout their lives.

Making an Impact
Real Results, Real Change
Since our founding, Kids Who Help Kids has facilitated thousands of volunteer hours, connecting young people with meaningful service opportunities that address genuine community needs. Our participants don't just volunteer—they become invested community members who understand the power of collective action.
We measure our success not just in hours served or projects completed, but in the personal growth we witness in every child who participates in our programs. From shy elementary students who gain confidence through service to teenagers who launch their own community initiatives, we're proud to be part of their transformative journey.
