Are you 6-18 (or a parent of a child in this age range)? We can help you connect with other families to work on group projects that directly benefit local organizations. Contact us to participate in our next brainstorming session. Each session, kids, scout troops, and families work together on an awareness, fund-raising, or volunteering project for a local non-profit organization. Kids will occupy our booth at Discovery Green on designated Sundays to educate the public and raise money for each session’s highlighted non-profit organization.
Are you 13-18? Have you checked for local opportunities to get involved with www.DoSomething.org or Jane Goodall’s www.rootsandshoots.org programs? Do you need some support in participating with those groups or need help developing a project idea? We can help.
Are you over 18? You can help us empower kids that are making a difference. You have skills and experience that our team needs! Adult team members offer their project management, critical thinking, entrepreneurial spirit, contacts, marketing, and technical skills to assist kids in their projects.
