Kids Change the World Update
June 1, 2022
Kids Change the World Supporters:
For 15 years, Kids Change the World has charted the frontiers of youth volunteerism, motivating young people to collaborate on efforts that have improved the lives of children across the globe. At its height, Kids Change the World had programs in cleft surgery, supported schools in underserved and remote areas of the world, and an active grant-making campaign to support young people's ideas to make a difference. Our innovative model captured the attention of U.S. Presidents, celebrities, and dozens of major multinational corporations. We should be proud of these accomplishments.
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the landscape of the spaces in which we work. The Board of Directors has been re-evaluating our resources and assessing where we can best re-direct our resources to make the most sustainable change. Your contributions have and will continue to be appreciated, valued, and treasured. While the way we drive positive change efforts may shift over time, our vision that young people can change the world has not wavered.
Stay tuned - bold new ideas are on the horizon.
