What’s Kids Up Front?
Kids Up Front is an organization dedicated to ensuring that ALL kids have access to fun, enriching experiences. In 1989, the UN identified that it’s a basic childrens’ right to be able to engage in arts, culture, sports and recreation activities. Through our work, we’re on the right side of history playing a role in a world-class cause. We help children meet their most basic rights, so they can thrive and meet their full potential.
How it works
We receive your monthly donation along with generous donations from other donors (event tickets, recreation passes, backstage tours) and turn these into enriching experiences.
We facilitate these experiences for deserving youth with 1300+ local, youth-serving partner agencies*, including Big Brothers Big Sisters, Ronald McDonald House, etc.
Kids and their chaperones enjoy the experience together, forming lasting bonds, developing self esteem, increasing their sense of belonging and overall, having FUN!
We report back to you about the INCREDIBLE impact you’re making through your generosity.
