What We Do

WE’RE SERIOUS ABOUT WALKING OUR TALK

Not only are we committed to instilling lessons of compassion and serving one’s community, but students are also given the opportunity to act and experience the power of contributing to something greater. The benefit is unmatched in terms of how students are able to lead, interact, and experience compassion in action.

This mission matters.

Youth are moving from…

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF A SMALL GROUP OF COMMITTED PEOPLE TO CHANGE THE WORLD. IN FACT, IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT EVER HAS.

-MARGARET MEAD

 

STRATEGIC PROGRAMS

ACTION TEAMS

Action Teams are groups of 10-20 students who are dedicated to leading their school or peer group through an assembly, fundraising campaign, and service project that makes a tangible difference in their community.

 

 

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

After being involved in an Action Team, youth are invited to participate in deeper leadership initiatives where they can grow in their capacity to change the world. This includes a robust internship program that equips college students with core leadership and character development skills.

 

 

SERVE CAMPS

Our annual Summer Camps are designed to offer students a fun and exciting opportunity to dive deep into the needs of their city.  Students will volunteer at various local non-profits where they spend time working for each organization learning the work that goes into solving needs in their community.

 

 

THE KID NEXT DOOR PODCAST

We are introducing the world to the heart and passion of a generation. Through this podcast, we are elevating the voices and stories of youth who are changing the world through small & large acts of compassion!
