"LEARNING IS BEST BY DOING, AND DOING IS BEST BY SERVING OTHERS"

Kids Helping Kids is a nonprofit corporation made up of empowered students who make a difference from the classroom to the community by investing in the lives of children in need locally and globally.

who we are

WHO WE ARE

Kids Helping Kids is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation ran entirely by junior and senior high school students in Sacramento, California. The Sacramento organization was founded in 2012. Everything we accomplish, including this website, is completed by the work of high school students with the mentorship of generous individuals.

WHAT WE DO

Kids Helping Kids serves a total of five populations. Locally, our work with elementary schools through mentoring and gardening projects help kids in our community thrive. Our college-bound program aids foster and at-risk youth with their transition into college. We also provide financial aid to families whose children are fighting cancer. Additionally, we aim to assist with sensory development for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). On a larger scale, 10% of our annual income is donated to global causes. For example, we provide resources and raise awareness for those susceptible to human trafficking in India.

why we do it

WHY WE DO IT

While each student has a unique passion that fuels their enthusiasm for what we do as an organization, everyone involved has a devotion to helping others and learning about the functioning of a nonprofit. The skills that we are able to learn in the classroom are applied to make a tangible, lasting difference in the real world by supporting our five populations. Regardless of their position in the organization, each member is able to make a significant impact and receives an experience that can never be paralleled by any lesson taught in a classroom.
