A Day of Giving

I had heard a lot about GivingTuesday. But most projects were done by adults. I thought, “Why aren’t kids more involved?” So I messaged the organization and asked if we could partner up. That’s how GivingTuesdayKids came to life! I reached out to other kid philanthropists. Our goal is to get a million other kids around the world to sign up for GivingTuesdayKids.

There are a lot of ways for kids to give. If you’re not sure where to start, think of something you love doing. I love sewing. When I was in fourth grade, I passed a homeless lady on my way to school each day. I sewed a tote bag for her and filled it with toiletries. Then I started a group called Khloe Kares. We make bags for homeless women all over California. For GivingTuesdayKids, I’m going to help a whole school make bags.

Here are some ideas from two of my fellow GivingTuesdayKids ambassadors to inspire you. Giving doesn’t have to be a huge project. As long as you’re spreading kindness, you’re doing your part.

When I was 11, I started my own business, Michaels Desserts. For every dessert I sell, I donate one to someone in need. For me, GivingTuesdayKids is an amazing opportunity to do even more. Kids can change the world. But they can’t do it on an empty stomach. So I’m going to put together healthy snack packs with my family and friends and donate them to local food banks.

I’m really excited to see the impact kids will make on December 3. If kids all over the world give back, even in tiny ways, it will make a huge difference.

There are countless ways to make a difference on GivingTuesdayKids. Here are some tips.
