Mission
Junior Hero administers a free program to elementary schools that encourages students to uplift others and themselves through thoughtful acts of kindness and service. By taking a simple pledge, documenting service hours, and submitting a service log to their teachers, students earn a Junior Hero t-shirt, recognition, and a prize. The Junior Hero program served 20 schools during the tax year, where over 5,000 students participated in an estimated 20,000 hours performing random acts of kindness.
