Kids to Kids

Youth Advisory Board

Kids to Kids is all about kids connecting with and supporting other kids. We couldn't make any of that happen without our Youth Advisory Board, which includes the fabulous kids who founded Kids to Kids and several other rockstars!

Julia

My Name is Julia—I am 16 years old and a junior at a school in Groton, Massachusetts. I board there and play both soccer and squash. I love so many of the projects we have supported that it’s hard to pick a favorite but the ones that combine education, athletics, and arts are the ones I find to be the most lasting. For example, there have been a couple projects where the kids have painted a map of the world on the side of a school building—a project that is both educational and allows kids to be artistic. Kids to Kids is so amazing because it works to build long-lasting connections between kids in the United States and kids in the developing world. These connections shrink the distance between us, allowing kids in the United States to understand that kids all over the world enjoy the same things.

Emily

I am junior at Wayland High School. I really enjoy science and math classes I have taken, such as biology, chemistry, and pre-calculus. I have been part of Kids to Kids since it was founded and have been on two trips to the Dominican Republic. One of the projects the Wayland High School Kids to Kids Club has sponsored is a swim club in Belize. We have also had multiple fundraisers, including a jewelry fair. Kids to Kids is so important to me because I love connecting and helping other kids in the developing world. I love sponsoring projects and seeing the difference we make for these organizations. Also, it is great to make connections with kids from all over the world.

Sarah

My name is Sarah and I'm 15 years old. I'm in 9th grade at Wayland High School. I love playing soccer, playing music, and hanging out with my friends. I love all the projects we sponsor, but my favorite so far has been Art for Peace, which I thought was a very cool idea. I love kids to kids because it gives kids a chance to help other kids who really need it, at the same time as learning about and exchanging cultures. I love helping kids get the opportunity to do some of the stuff that I love most!

Amelia

I'm 15 years old and I'm a freshmen at Concord Academy. My favorite thing about school is all the art programs available at the school I attend, currently Fiber Arts. So far, my favorite project we've sponsored was Art for Peace, not only for my fondness of the concept, but because I believe art can truly help build communities and a respect for beauty some are not privileged enough to get in the developing world. I love Kids to Kids because I love the feeling you get knowing you're helping someone's life get a little better.

Charlie

My name is Charlie. I am 12 years old, in 7th grade, and go to the Wayland Middle School. My favorite thing about school is seeing my friends and learning new things. I have done fundraisers, collected supplies, and also gone to the Dominican Republic. I love Kids To Kids because I think it is important to help people and Kids to Kids is a fun way to do it.

Finn

My name is Finn and I am 12 years old. My favorite thing about school is Geography and meeting new people. My favorite project that we supported was all of the baseball teams that got to play with real baseballs and bats. I love Kids to Kids because of all the smiles it makes on kids faces everywhere.
