We can learn a lot from children. They have an innocent and natural motivation to help people. Children are making a positive impact every day in our world, from donating toys to less fortunate children to organizing a local food drive to driving large scale awareness campaigns about the environment.
Kids are Heroes wants to recognize the service of children everywhere.
Kids Are Heroes® is a non-profit that empowers, encourages and inspires children to become leaders through volunteerism and community involvement. We do this by showcasing and supporting children who are making a difference through their selfless acts fo giving.
We teach children to follow their passions at an early age. This will instinctively stay with them throughout their entire lives.
Kids are indeed heroes and each one has the power to change the world.
Do you know a child who is making a difference? Why not “Nominate a Kid” and share his or her story of service?
Perhaps you know a child who wants to something, but isn’t quite sure what or how. The “Become a Hero” section provides ideas and how-tos. Some of the activites are donating used sports equipment, collecting cell phones for soldiers, visiting a nursing home with a pet, and volunteering at the Special Olympics.
There’s an important lesson we can share with children through these activities. Sometimes, people are so overwhelmed by the scope of a problem that instead of doing something, they end up doing nothing. We can help children understand that they do not have to change the whole world, just their small piece of it. Imagine the possibilities if every child, every family, every one of us did that? Then, the whole world would be changed.
