Our Story
Letter from the founder:
Whether it's babysitting, helping with summer camps, or playing with my little cousins, I've always loved being around kids. Even more than spending time with children, I enjoy doing community service. So, I decided to combine these passions and give back to my community.
Over time and through various programs, I have gained deep insight into the disparities in learning opportunities, medical care, and physical health resources within my community. This awareness, coupled with my community service work with these children, has heightened my understanding of the daily challenges faced by kids around the world. While no one can control the circumstances they’re born into, every child deserves an equal chance at success and happiness. Although I may not be able to influence the conditions a child is born into, I was determined to find a way to help make their journey easier.
As teenagers, it's easy to feel powerless. However, choosing kindness and spreading it is a simple yet powerful way to make a difference. Through ChooseKind4Kids, I aim to empower others just as I have been inspired to spread kindness in the world. Whether that be through community service or a simple compliment to a stranger, an act of kindness can go a long way.
