Our son Sam came running to us at an event this past Summer and told us "I know what I want to do this Summer?" We followed him back to this booth where Kids Boost was promoting its charitable work. We were thrilled to see him so passionate - so of course we said let's do it. Our journey to help others was not an easy road. Without the help of Chelsea Key as his coach, Sam would not have succeeded! The desire to do something vs. the work involved was quite apparent and we were met with several challenges that ultimately proved to be the most positive and rewarding lessons that will stick with Sam (and us, as parents) forever! Sam learned about communication, how to leave a voice mail message, how to take "no" for an answer, how to NOT take "no" for an answer and try something else, to be resourceful, how to make a check list, managing money, the value of sending a thank you note, the generosity others have in helping a good cause, and seeing the impact of his fundraising on his chosen charity (actually contributing to saving lives of wounded warriors with just his work). This is such a unique organization where you get to choose what matters to you, and not have to just pick something to fulfill community service hours or check off the list. Every kid should undergo this program - and get a chance to. Who calls people on the phone these days?! We need to teach our kids these important life skills - having a coach is priceless.
If you want your kids to grow up to change the world, then sign them up with Kids Boost now. If you want your heart to be filled on an ongoing basis, then become a monthly donor. If you have experience working with children or work in marketing, events, or fundraising then become a coach. The ways that you can help KidsBoost are endless but they will impact a child's life AND a non-profit forever. I chose to put my marketing skills to good use and help their Executive Director, Kristen, with some brand and graphic design projects. Since then, I have become so passionate about this organization. We are creating a legacy of leaders who want to do good for others and support the non-profits in our community in so many ways...and it's all in a way that is fun and engaging to kids. This is a win-win for everyone. Please find a way to get involved and make a difference!
I have been following Kids Boost and also have volunteered at Kids Boost event and wow...such an amazing organization. First, it focuses on kids getting skills that are so important for their future. But they aren't selling magazines or candy like most programs for kids their age - they are getting out and talking to people about a social issue that they are passionate about - and raising money and awareness around that social issue. So these kids gain experience in building a program, understand what it takes to build that program, go out and get donations from adults, but are also doing good for the world and gaining confidence in themselves. I can't explain how much I believe in this amazing program! Also it brings community together which is just icing on the cake!
I have had the honor of supporting and working with Kids Boost since they started. What a wonderful way to help kids learn about so much! I support Kids Boost because it has AMAZING impact on the kids, on the community and the money I give literally gets multiplied! Giving hundreds of dollars turns into thousands for the community! Truly a brilliant organization and concept!
My daughter was an early Kids Booster! She raised over $1000 for her charity, the Atlanta Children's Mission. Kristen took time with her to plan her goals and get excited about raising money. She made my daughter feel so important with all of her official Kids Boost gear! She talked through her project like a true mentor and someone who cared so much! It has been amazing for me as a parent to see how Kids Boost has grown - my daughter already wants to do another project!
I was looking for a way for my kids to experience giving back and Kids Boost was a perfect way! It helps them find what they are passionate about when deciding who they want to support while giving them the tools and encouragement to be as successful as possible. The coaches are so inspirational and really make the kids look outside the box and shoot for the moon on what they can achieve to help others. We are already ready to plan our next project!
I have seen Kids Boost give kids the ability to use their passion to give back to the community while building confidence and responsibility. There are many great organizations, but this one is truly empowering kids and cultivating strong/empathetic leaders. The director lives and breaths innovation and genuine development of children.
I have worked with many non-profits in the past. Some were ones I actually worked for and others I volunteered. None have had the kind of heart and passion that Kids Boost has. I love being a donor for Kids Boost because I am always getting updates on where my money is going, what great things the kids have planned next, and where else I can plug in should I choose to volunteer. Kids Boost is well run and full of a love for helping children work towards amazing goals.
I love everything Kids Boost stands for! Empowering kids to give back to causes they are passionate about while teaching them life skills. And all of my donation either goes to the non-profit they are supporting or to support Kids Boost to empower more kids. It's a win-win! Can't recommend this nonprofit any higher!
As a mom, I've noticed that there are very little nonprofits out there to help kids just be good people and give them an outlet to volunteer and make a difference. Kids Boost is one of the only organizations that does this. Not only that, they make it fun for kids! I love that kids can learn the power of giving in a fun and age appropriate way. Kids Boost is changing the world!
Kids Boost is a wonderful organization that empowers kids to give back to the community! Kristen and Chelsea do an amazing job working with the kids to identify what makes their heart happy while teaching them life skills to create a fundraiser they are passionate about. One of my favorite parts of this organization is that not only are they helping kids in our community give back, but they are also helping numerous other non-profits by the kids' organized fundraisers. Great job Kids Boost!!
What a fantastic non profit , providing inspiration to these amazing kids ready to make a difference in our world. I fully support Kristen and Chelsea who have the energy and positive attitudes that will take this unique non profit to the next level!
I am so happy and honored to be a donor to this wonderful non-profit. It gives me hope for the future watching how hard our younger generation is working to make this world a better place. Not only does it teach them business skills but it also helps them become more compassionate human beings. It is a wonderful organization that I am happy to sponsor any way I can.
Kids Boost is an amazing nonprofit centered around helping children reach their philanthropic potential! We all know that kid, or have been on ourselves, who wants to give back but doesn't know how or where to start. Kids Boost is giving a solution to that problem single handedly by helping kids give back in a way they know how, and to issues that are important to them. It's absolutely wonderful! I've been a volunteer, contributor, and my work has been a direct recipient of a Kid Booster. Seeing the hard work, dedication, and love these kids put into their projects is inspiring! Kids Boost is truly being the difference in changing the world through the confidence, social skills, and fortitude it helps to build in these kids! If I could give more than five stars, I would!
Kids Boost is an AMAZING non-profit. What I love about it is not only that it helps kids raise money for an important cause of their choice, but also that they gain incredible life skills and tremendous confidence from their involvement. This is valuable beyond measure!
Kids Boost has such a unique and highly effective model, and what makes it special as a nonprofit is its ability to "do good" two-fold. It has been amazing to see kids plan and execute events while gaining worthwhile skills, improving their self-esteem, having fun, AND raising money for a nonprofit.
Kids Boost is one of the most unique non-profits out there: A non-profit that enables kids to get involved in their community and give back to other non-profits. How could you not be excited about Kids Boost?? It also gives kids the opportunity to exercise valuable skill sets in a real-world setting, such as: financial responsibility, written and verbal communication, time management, and of course philanthropy. The Kids Boost experience builds confidence and teaches kids lifelong lessons that will enable them to succeed in any career path they choose.
