Kids Care »

Kids Care! offers children a way to reach out to others and experience the power of caring! Kids are perfect ambassadors to those in need - both close to home and untold miles away. Here, they learn to join together with friends and classmates doing simple acts of kindness. Help a new student feel welcome at school. Care for pets at humane societies & start a vacation pet-care service. Rescue wildlife habitats with hands-on actions & volunteering. Protect our planet's environment, while teaching others to do the same. Whether making objects that bring comfort to others or raising money to send to worldwide caring organizations, kids learn quickly that caring involves everyday thoughtfulness, listening carefully, and helping others to help themselves. Yes, kids really do care and are naturally sensitive to the plight of people, animals, and the environment. Encourage them to express that empathy by engaging in positive actions that can make a difference!
