Kids’ Chance National
About Kids’ Chance
Kids’ Chance is a 501(c)(3) national organization that was formed for the purpose of creating, assisting and supporting state-level Kids’ Chance organizations throughout the United States, as well as other similar programs that provide educational opportunities and scholarships for the children of workers seriously injured or killed on the job.
Mission
Serious work-related accidents have a devastating effect on families, especially children. Already overwhelmed with difficult emotions, these children must often confront the hurdle of funding their own education. The mission of Kids’ Chance’s is to fulfill the dreams of these children and help them reach their potential by providing them with educational scholarships. If not for our help, the majority of Kids’ Chance scholarship recipients would not have access to post-secondary education. Year after year, we have watched Kids’ Chance scholarship students from all over the United States graduate from various institutions of higher education and elect to continue their education or begin rewarding careers.
Vision
Kids’ Chance believes that through our work, we can make a significant difference in the lives of all children affected by a workplace injury by helping them pursue and achieve their educational goals.
We believe:
- Children are society’s most valuable resource.
- We have an obligation to give children the tools they need to succeed in life.
- Access to higher education ensures that children have the necessary skills to be successful in the workplace.
- Investing in our children’s future provides them the opportunity to make a difference in their own and other people’s lives.
