Project Giving Kids' mission is to build empathy for children, and it is one of a kind in its both virtual and in-person activities and events. Its website and mobile app offers many activities and lesson plans that people can participate in while PGK also holds a national Create the Change once a year that showcases many non-profits that children can interact with either in-person or virtually.
At Boys & Girls Clubs of Dorchester we have partnered with Project Giving for in-person Create the Change events that have allowed our teens to experience service opportunities with a variety of non-profit partners. We have also utilized the on-line platform to connect to service opportunities which came in especially handy during the pandemic.
I love everything about PGK! As a mom of two, it can be a difficult feeling when you aren't sure how to instill love, kindness, empathy and generosity in your kids. I love the way PGK provides simple ways you and your family can give back easily. There is something for everyone...even when we are crazy busy in life!
This organization is all about teaching our youth about giving back and doing good. I have had the pleasure of meeting some of the incredible humans who run the organization, and it's no wonder its so well thought out and put together. Great humans all around! I have great love and respect for PGK and thank them for making the world a better place for our children and for inspiring our children to be the best kind of humans!
This is a picture from a virtual activity my son and I participated in for Create the Change Day last year. We drew pictures of what we wanted to see more of in the world. My then 4 year old drew a person picking up trash. :) PGK provided a virtual photo booth hence the beautiful boarder.
My son and I also started painting rocks ( when he was 3 years old) to spread love and kindness as part of a PGK inspired activity. We continued to do so throughout the pandemic. He loved leaving them on doorsteps in our neighborhood or at the park, so people could find them and smile. My son (now almost 6) recently asked me if we could paint rocks again. It warms my heart! Again, PGK is wonderful organization, changing the world for the better!
