Children's Global Alliancechildrensglobalalliance.orgChildren’s Global Alliance is a 501(C)3 non-profit program based in Vail, Colorado. The organization was created in 2010 to fill the void of large-scale volunteer experiences for children ages 12-16. This most impressionable age group is capable of extraordinary things, yet rarely trusted with extraordinary opportunities. We cannot stress enough that this program is so much more than a travel experience. We provide a year-round mentorship program that focuses on creating the future leaders in our community. We promote and focus on character and integrity building, emotional maturity, decision making as a teenager and becoming responsible, educated and compassionate citizens, right here at home. This is a positive experience that provides our youth the opportunity to become truly selfless individuals. Kind Design has been working with the Children's Global Alliance for many years, donating products for silent auctions, doing pro-bono design work, making t-shirts for events, donating products to bring overseas to orphanages they work at, and more. We love what they are doing and how they get the children in the community involved, to help less fortunate children. |
