community service. Our mission is to instill in America's youth
the spirit of giving while providing valuable education in
leadership and responsibility. Our vision is to develop leaders
for life through youth volunteerism.
The mission of Kids Korps has an indelible and unique impact beyond
the many benefits of volunteerism: we shape young lives through
exposure to, and direct involvement in community service. The daily
benefit of improving ones community is tangible. The lifelong benefit
to young volunteers is an increase in their level of maturity,
empathy, and positive perspective on how THEY can make the world a
better place.
Values...
Volunteering is about giving, contributing, and helping others -
making a meaningful and lasting contribution to a better community. Volunteering is helping in a homeless shelter, giving aid to seniors,
holding hands in a hospice or cleaning up a local stream. The selfless
act of volunteering is what binds communities together.
Empathy
People in need want understanding, not sympathy. Service projects
enable our youth to develop the values of caring, giving and compassion
for others.
Inclusion
We embrace diversity. Breaking down cultural barriers enables us to
respect and value each other's differences. Understanding helps kids
to develop their full potential.
Leadership
Kids become Teen Leaders and mentor other kids. Hands-on leadership is developed through cooperative volunteerism, task-orientation, and focus
on outcomes.
Learning
Our service-based model provides opportunities for youth to learn about
their community including its needs strengths, and diversity.
Team Building
Working together to solve a community need promotes positive interaction
among peers.
Community
By giving to and supporting the community in which they live, our
youth are more connected and proud to be socially responsible members
of society.
Family
Families volunteer together - providing a tremendous opportunity for
families to spend quality time together, to bond, and to grow.
Responsibility
Children become more aware of local issues and help provide solutions
through their personal efforts. This instills social and personal responsibility and a sense of purpose.
Self-Esteem
Making a difference builds adolescent's self-esteem: a vital quality
that is so important in the development of healthy, happy youth.
