Positive Difference Makers
In 2024, a groundbreaking youth organization emerged, catering specifically to children aged 3-6 and their siblings. Its mission is twofold: to foster individuality and ignite a passion for helping others. To ensure accessibility, all monthly events are offered free of charge, eliminating financial barriers and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to participate.
Motivational Engagement Event
Any youth organization can request a free 30-60 minute motivational engagement event. These are not just talking with children but actively engaging with them. Topics covered range from ways to help around the house to understanding their own interests & seeking ways to use those to help others. Handouts are supplied to each child with age appropriate content and information on the back for parents to continue to lessons at home. Children receive a motivational wristband at the event so they can be reminded to stay positive. Thanks to a grant from 4imprint, children currently get a UV color changing wristband with the motto “Who I am Matters, What I do Matters”.
