Campaigns
Kids need people older than them to turn to for friendship, advice, and fun. These mentors can be teachers, coaches, tutors, neighbors, or older young people, like high school and college students.

All children need a healthy start that includes regular health care, good nutrition and exercise.
Service-learning, job-shadowing, and participating in apprenticeships and internships helps kids to build a set of skill required in the job market.
All children need opportunities to help others and contribute to the larger society through volunteering, leading and serving.
