Did you know that children who volunteer are twice as likely to volunteer as adults? We do, and we find it a statistic so compelling that we created a new program to involve young children in service.   Introducing… Kids Care Clubs.

Hands On Nashville runs a club-based model designed to involve more children in service. Kids Care Clubs (KCC) are groups of young people (elementary and middle school-aged) who work together to help others in their communities and around the world. Clubs are formed in any of the many groups your child is already involved in such as schools, churches, synagogues, and other community-based organizations. Hands On Nashville serves as the local resource for area Kids Care Clubs, working with adult leaders to answer questions and connect the clubs with a wide variety of hands-on volunteer opportunities.

All you need is:

• a group of kids, ages 5-13 years old, who meet regularly.
• an adult facilitator.
• a sponsoring organization such as your school, church or community center.
• the desire to make a difference in your neighborhood, community and world.
