Kids Helping Kids

“When I found out about Kids Helping Kids in high school, I took the range with that, made my own program, and it really built my confidence that was lacking. It really gave me that chance to be a leader for something, and it was an amazing experience, and it really set off my career path. Now,  I’m a business woman, presenting and leading a group of people.”

“Because of KHK, I no longer sit in the back of the classroom while avoiding eye contact with others, but instead, sit  in the front and actively engaged in all conversations or activities. I finally have  the understanding needed with a diverse group of people in order to intensely work towards achieving a common goal. I have gained the courage to talk in front of a large crowd, and the positive energy needed to inspire those that surrounded me. Most importantly, I have gained confidence which continuously allows me to trust and believe in myself.”

"As an ambassador with Kids Helping Kids, I have gained invaluable leadership skills like accountability, public speaking and having the confidence to take action. Not only do I enjoy helping others, but I also enjoy working with other kids my age who feel passionate about it as well. Recently, I have been proud to be a part of a committee to lead our ambassador meetings. This role has allowed me to step up and lead break out groups in focused, purposeful discussions. I am proud to be part of Kids Helping Kids."

The reason why being part of Kids Helping Kids is so important to me is because  KHK has really improved my ability to work with others. I am now able to respect the ideas of others, even if I have a different opinion. It has helped me to appreciate new and different perspectives because I know we are all working toward a common goal: impacting the lives of the children we serve.
