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.
“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
“The arrival of the CFK team of was something that changed Batey Frias. Before having the court, there was only an emptiness and silence, on the contrary, now you feel the life of youth and the noise that says pass me the ball, what an emotional moment for me!”
— Sonia, Community Leader Batey Frias: Dominican Republic.
“I love that the Courts for Kids experience can help [students] truly understand the ‘real world’. Through this experience the students reflect and realize who they are and what life path they want to take.”
– Mrs. Kinsey Dhoot, Teacher & Interact Community Service Advisor: Evergreen Public School, Washington
“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
