Holiday Toy Drive
Each year we rely on the generosity of our partners to collect over 1,500 gifts. Your donation of toys will be used to stock our Christmas Store so parents will be able to provide a joyful Christmas for their children. Toys may be dropped off or shipped directly to KidWorks no later than Dec 9th.
Christmas Store
Help us spread holiday cheer on December 14th and 15th to the students and families at KidWorks! To pull off the Christmas Store, we need volunteers for set up, gift wrapping and more!
On going ways corporations and their employees can partner with KidWorks are:
Tutoring at our after-school programs.
Leading KidWorks University workshops where employees at local companies share a skill, talent or passion. These workshops help our students discover their own passions and talents. Workshops can focus on art, science, music, dance, creative writing, etc.
Career days/career guidance: Those in the workforce are invited to share their career and work experiences with our students. Our students often report that those who shared their work and professional experiences have helped them identify a career or passion they otherwise might not have known about.
