ABOUT US

Mission

The mission of the Kids4Kindness Morris County 4-H Club is for children and parents to work together to raise awareness and spread kindness throughout the community.

​

Who we are

​

Kids4kindness is community service based club. 

The Kids4Kindness began under the umbrella of a Parent Teacher Association in October 2012 as a way to spread kindness throughout the school community. It was created as a way for children to make a difference in the community that we live in. Children who take time to be kind and help others are more independent, have better self-esteem and succeed in school.

​

Since then, it has expanded to include all children from kindergarten through one year post high school as a Morris County, NJ 4H Club. This move allowed the club to broaden its horizons and make a more significant impact on the surrounding community while including a more diverse group of students in its membership.

The club has made an effort to have its impact felt by different groups within the community by completing numerous projects.
