ABOUT PROJECT GIVING KIDS
Project Giving Kids (PGK) facilitates pathways for young volunteers to build empathy and a more compassionate world by making it easier for kids, teens, and families to engage in volunteer service. Through its easy-to-navigate website, lesson plans and educational resources, as well as its annual Create the Change® event, PGK helps youth volunteers understand the importance of service and connect directly with vetted nonprofit partners.
“During Create the Change® Week, one of the projects was to make origami hearts with little notes attached for children in the hospital. My dad works at a local children’s hospital, so he took the hearts to the hospital for me. He said the children were excited about them and that made me happy to know that I was bringing smiles to those children’s faces.” – Caroline D., age 12, Create the Change® 2020 participant
