The Kars4Kids Vision

Kars4Kids‘ vision is to give our children the ability to succeed in life. We focus on educational, mentorship and year-round programs for our children, their families and their communities, looking at the big picture of our children‘s development and the environment they grow up in. We rely on thousands of volunteers to help us change the world, one child at a time.

Fun Escapades

Everyone needs to get away from it all once in a while. Even kids. That's why Kars4Kids designed the perfect "escape" for kids and their mentors, sending them to the famous Six Flags Great Escape amusement park in Lake George, New York. It was the perfect combination of fun, friends, and fearless riding of roller coasters!

Year Round Mentoring

The underlying fabric of all our programs, mentoring is at the heart of what we do at Kars4Kids. All kids can benefit from the unconditional support, nonjudgmental guidance and listening ear of a caring mentor. And sometimes having one makes all the difference in a kid's growth trajectory.
