Mission Statement
MISSION We empower young people and adults to include kindness as a core value to community building. We encourage kids to embrace their authentic selves through mindfulness. We believe that when kindness and authenticity are embraced as societal values, the youth of today are better equipped to shape the world as confident, compassionate leaders. VISION We envision a world where young people feel confident, curious, and productive. These youth will lead their communities and schools to adopt a culture of kindness and compassion. VALUES -Listen deeply to the thoughts, feelings, and ideas of kids -Foster connected and supportive communities across parents, schools, and kids -Nurture ourselves and those around us through compassion and mindfulness -Inspire leadership by nourishing creativity and acts of kindness -Express joy and gratitude through our thoughts, words, and actions -Embrace a worldview where each person can make an impact locally and globally
About This Cause
Camp Kindness Counts believes in the power of kindness within kids and families to transform our existing communities into happier and stronger ones. We seek to empower youth so they can lead with courage, compassion, and kindness. Our goal of supporting social and emotional well-being is reached by providing educators, families, and youth opportunities for service learning, character-building, and mindfulness so that they can make a tangible impact in their communities and themselves. The programs our organization established for this purpose are youth service clubs and camps, family service projects, workshops, and character development initiatives. We are committed to providing tools for character development which help foster social emotional well-being and opportunities for service and social action to help build a generation of compassionate, strong leaders and community members. Families and youth of all ages build on crucial character strengths, such as compassion, perseverance and forgiveness, while making a difference in themselves and in turn the community. We aim to build on a culture of kindness in our schools and communities and believe youth and families, when inspired and empowered, are the people who can help make this happen! Our programming includes: Curriculum and services focused on character development and social emotional well-being service leadership opportunities service camps family community service projects parent education workshops TARGET POPULATION: Our target population are children, youth, and families -- anywhere. We serve families from varying ethnic groups and partner with school districts and nonprofits to support underserved communities.
