Featured Stories
Each Courts for Kids project is one-of-a-kind. There is a unique community with its own history, strengths, and needs partnering together with a distinctive group of volunteers who live, work, and engage in cultural activities with the community for one week. You can read about each one of these powerful stories here.
“Courts for Kids provides an authentic experience of solidarity… and as a result, [the students] have not simply been told about the hard work and solidarity that typify life in developing countries; they’ve experienced it. I can only hope that this experience as a young person will help inform their life decisions and sense of compassion as they enter adulthood.”
– Daniel Keller, Teacher: Edison High School, Oregon
“This project was a great experience; it showed us the potential that we have when working together. Cooperating by either working on the court, the kitchen, or the logistics…every one helped to make this possible! I am very lucky to have witnessed this.”
— Reynaldo Chirú, School Parents Association: Boca de las Minas, Panama

— Sonia, Community Leader Batey Frias: Dominican Republic.
