The Kars4Kids Vision
Kars4Kids‘ vision is to give our children the ability to succeed in life. We focus on educational, mentorship and year-round programs for our children, their families and their communities, looking at the big picture of our children‘s development and the environment they grow up in. We rely on thousands of volunteers to help us change the world, one child at a time.
Dream Camp Experience
Being a kid in summer means going to camp for extended, uncomplicated fun. But not every family has the means to give their children that important experience. Our beautiful campus at Kars4Kids-sponsored summer camp TheZone, has every fun activity imaginable plus knowledgeable staff to guide the children every step of the way for the most meaningful summer ever.
Developing Leadership Skills
Some kids are born leaders-they just aren‘t getting the help they need to fulfill their innate leadership skills. Kars4Kids‘ Volunteer Leadership Program helps shape and develop that talent, thus providing a pool of immensely talented mentors and counselors to work with the next generation of kids in need.
