Our Mission
Touching Heart is on a mission to inspire kids and fill their young hearts with love and compassion for one another. We believe that children can leave an imprint on the world in significant ways when they are taught just how impactful their thoughts and actions are. Touching Heart's programs are focused on how to enlighten, excite, and educate children about how they can experience the true joy that comes from helping those in need.
Touching Heart delivers its mission through four exciting and inspiring programs:
Kids on a Mission: Working with a Touching Heart coach, kids select, plan, and host their own fundraising events and projects. Our young leaders learn practical skills as they plan their events, develop budgets, and lead volunteers.
After-School Program: Our Schools on a Mission program is a 6 to 10-week (an hour a week) program where students learn and talk about issues that kids around the world face every day. Throughout the class, we discuss important issues and participate in hands-on service projects. Students get firsthand experience helping others and turning their compassion into action.
Art of Giving Workshops: Participants learn and talk about issues that kids in need face every day. Participants also work together on a service project, so they can understand how easy it is to help someone in need and gain a desire to have a positive impact on the world.
Summer Service Camp: Making a difference has never been so fun! Summer fun meets service when our campers spend 5 days learning, laughing, creating, and giving back! Taking our inspiration from our popular school program, we created a camp that will get kids busy learning about people in need in their community and around the world, while completing hands-on service projects that make a difference!
Our Vision
Touching Heart believes our children will shape the future of our world. That is why we aim to equip every child we encounter with the tools to be compassionate and loving leaders of tomorrow. Through our Kids on a Mission program, Schools on a Mission program, Art of Giving Workshop, and Summer Service Camp, youth of all ages learn how they can make a difference by sacrificing their time and energy to help those living in less fortunate circumstances. Looking to the future, we hope to see a world of people who care for one another, are willing to sacrifice for the greater good, and teach their children the importance of turning their compassion into action!
