Mission

Our mission at Boy 4 Change is to be an agent and catalyst of change - change in the way we see ourselves, our community, and our world - by paying it forward, raising awareness, and providing assistance and hope for individuals and families with disabilities.

Notes from the nonprofit

Is there anything you see in your community, in your school, in your church, in your life, in the world that you like to change? Of course there is! That's why its time for kids to speak up. Kids aren't afraid to think about how to make life in our world better and kids STILL BELIEVE that they can make a difference. Does one person make a difference? Let me ask you, did Christ? God so loved the world that He did something. He didn't select a committee. He didn't theorize how great it would be for someone to come to our rescue. He didn't simply grieve over our waywardness and wring His hands in sorrow. He did something! And, in turn, the Son of God said to God the Father, will go. He did something about it. Have you noticed how suffering brings people together? Have you watched how people respond to disasters? Suffering pushes us out of our homes. It puts us in touch

Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Para-Driving

The primary focus of para-driving sport is to provide educational and competitive opportunities for athletes with physical disabilities. Many disabled athletes compete, and even excel, in sports designed for the able-bodied, but para-driving in particular opens a world of competition to drivers with even severe disabilities that might preclude them from other forms of sport, and does so while providing a structured, focused, and highly competitive environment.

Population(s) Served

Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.

This definition does not affect or limit the broader definition of “assistance animal” under the Fair Housing Act or the broader definition of “service animal” under the Air Carrier Access Act.

Some State and local laws also define service animal more broadly than the ADA does. The law that gives the MOST protection to the service dog team is the law that takes precedence. Information about such laws can be obtained from the State Attorney General’s office.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

1Boy4Change would like to have enough financial support to make every soldier that is away from home feel supported by getting a free cup of coffee with a note. We want to continue to supply Warrior Beads to participants of all ages around the world - allowing them to tell their medical journey in colorful beads.

Must get better at grant writing.\r\n\r\nMust get the public behind our programs.

We have the capabilities of achieving our goals by attending classes for grant writing. We can network with agencies that offer help in \u0022how\u0022 to get our little non-profit on the same stage as the large non-profits.

We have all of our programs recognized nationally and internationally. We have successfully branded our non-profit. Our programs are successful - easily seen by the numbers. The only thing we haven\u0027t achieved so far is steady support through reoccurring grants.
