Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Unknown
Mission: Assertive Kids is a community organization dedicated to fostering assertiveness and well-being in kids and adults. We seek to teach individuals to be assertive instead of passive or aggressive through workshops, literature, and web presence. Our programs will help to bring awareness to the topic of ageism and aging. As assertive persons, we shall take part in sharing the responsibility for the well-being of our community by helping the homeless to be kept warm and fed, and thus reduce their suffering in simple ways. We shall provide clothing to disadvantaged children in our local area. We shall brighten our neighborhoods by providing flowers to homeowners, public housing residents, and businesses in our area. We seek to fund studies related to epigenetics as this relates to helping pregnant women to receive better healthcare and have a better and healthier pregnancy, and helping individuals battling addiction, among other research topics. We shall use the funds provided by the general public to provide for those less fortunate, and to help provide for a beautiful community.
Results: Through the fiscal year of 2020 (ending in June of 2021), the following accomplishments were made in this regard: An additional 70 children were helped, plus 5,000 members of a Native American tribe in New Jersey, about 1,000 members of a local church that operates a “dress for success” program, and about 500 members of a small church in Mariners Harbor. Of the individual children noted above, 39 or 55% were Black, 13 or 19% were Hispanic, 17 or 24% were White, 1 or .1% was Asian. The members of both churches are mostly Black and Hispanic, and the Native American tribe members are Native American. As of this date, we have helped an additional 10 families with clothing for multiple children in each family.
