This is an organization that continues to grow and to carefully analyze its programs, seeking to make impactful improvements in the educational opportunities it offers to protect and empower children to stay safe from abuse. KidSafe’s straightforward education for parents, teachers, caregivers, coaches, and others who touch the lives of our kids is invaluable and designed as a fitting complement to the programs designed for children.

Learning Help Centers of Charlotte
Charlotte, NC
Learning Help Centers of Charlotte is a parent-teacher nonprofit that provides support to children from low-income families through holistic services. They encourage children to stay in school and fight to put an end to poverty. They have after-school programs that help students with homework, camps, and family workshops that strengthen bonds.
“I have been volunteering with LHCC for several years now. The founding family of this organization are wonderful and selfless people, that truly live in a way that embodies what it means to serve others. I was paired with a 6-year-old boy that lacked confidence and struggled with reading comprehension. I have watched him grow to a much more confident and positive first grader, that is not only at or above his reading level but excelling in math as well. While we work to serve these children each week, it is the volunteers that truly benefit from the relationship, as the children’s joy is contagious. I feel blessed to be a part of this organization.” – ccvolunteer

“What a difference a couple of years make. Since 2014, Manners of the Heart has grown to be providing their course curriculum in a full 1/3 of East Baton Rouge Parish elementary schools. These schools are all shows great improvement in their school grade and the children seem to be responding to the message of respect with excitement and enthusiasm. After a couple of rough months in 2016, the area surrounding Baton Rouge has rallied to show true love and respect for each other. The #BRRespect campaign started by Manners of the Heart has spread to every corner of the city and people are starting to respect each other and themselves.
