We Create a Town

It takes a community to make an impact. So we created "Towns" through local partnerships in Italy, Ethiopia, India and Latin America to provide at-risk youth with care and an education.

The Kids Run it

Through our model of self-government, the children elect their own leaders, make decisions as a group and are responsible for shaping their community.

They Are Empowered

With an education and the skills learned through self-government, our kids become self-confident and creative leaders at our Towns and for the rest of their lives.

We serve children each year through the following partner programs.
