The Kars4kids Vision
Our vision at Kars4Kids is to enable our children to succeed throughout life. We achieve this goal through a gamut of educational, mentorship and year-round programs for our children and their families and communities. With a network of thousands of volunteers, we strive to change the world, one child at a time.
Mentoring Our Youth
Our mentoring program pairs children with mature mentors who are a positive influence, a role model, and a friend for life. The one-on-one relationship allows our mentors to give their mentees the personal guidance they need to grow into productive and well-balanced members of the community.
Chillzone, a Safe Haven
All children need some time outside of the structured school environment. ChillZone provides a safe and healthy place for children and teens to hang out with friends and mentors. Fun combines with stimulating guidance and social growth for the perfect outlet our children (and their parents!) could ask for.
