Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Youth and families want to volunteer but often lack the time, resources and opportunities for quality age-appropriate service projects.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Teen Leadership Program
Pebble Tossers’ Teen Leadership Program establishes a greater sense of self-worth, self-awareness and self-efficacy through age-appropriate, meaningful service. Students in grades 9-12 apply to participate in this nine-month program where they participate in sessions on character cultivation, skill-building and leadership development training. Pebble Tossers understands that teens have a lot on their plates. On top of academic and sport commitments, many teens have required service hours for school, clubs and civic organizations. This program offers teens an interactive leadership program help them develop their leadership styles, improve their social-emotional skills and develop new friendships.
Community Service Projects
Pebble Tossers organizes and hosts a number of community service projects weekly. In addition, Pebble Tossers partners with 60+ vetted nonprofit partners to provide youth with age-appropriate volunteer opportunities. In total, there are 250+ Pebble Tossers projects/year.
Volunteer Matching
Pebble Tossers created a custom search engine to match the interest and abilities of children and teens with the needs of the community. All projects are tagged and posted to a user account and then completed volunteer hours can be recorded to create a cumulative volunteer service record.
Parent Lunch and Learns
Interactive discussions and workshops with parents related to volunteerism, philanthropy, and service.
