Kids Helping Kids (KHK) is a 501(c)3 organization founded in the summer of 2009 by twelve-year-old Lexi Kelley. After being involved in a serious car accident, Lexi received an incredible outpouring of support from friends, neighbors, and classmates and she thought to herself: “If we can continue to have lots of kids do just a little, we can really make a difference for those in need!”. So Lexi and a small group of friends organized their first KHK project in order to give other kids her age the opportunity to feel the impact, joy, and reward of helping others.

As the team of volunteers has matured, our organization has grown to new heights. We are proud to say that over a decade later, KHK has had over 6,000 volunteers to date, representing more than 140 schools. All of these youth-inspired, youth-developed, and youth-led projects have helped enrich the lives of over 65,000 local youth!
