Fundraising For A Better World
The Week Junior has partnered with SuperKind to launch the Fundraising for a Better World campaign.
Fundraising For A Better World
Children have the power to change the world. With their natural curiosity, care and enthusiasm, they are uniquely positioned to make a difference. Plus, there's a proven "double benefit" to children engaging in social action. Not only do their efforts create meaningful change for the causes they support, but children themselves grow in the process, developing essential lifelong skills and values such as empathy, leadership, resilience, and more.
That’s why The Week Junior has partnered with SuperKind, the world's only fundraising platform that can legally be used by young people, to launch the Fundraising for a Better World campaign.
This winter, we’re challenging children to step up and fundraise for a cause that’s close to their hearts. Whether it's protecting the environment, helping the homeless, or supporting local animal shelters, their efforts can make a world of difference. And the best part? This initiative will help them make a positive impact, and they’ll gain invaluable experience that will help them grow into compassionate leaders of tomorrow.
