If adults engage children in meaningful discussions about their worlds by the age of ten, they are twice as likely to become lifelong civic and philanthropic actors. TGS offers a dynamic civic experience for 2nd-8th graders that develops their philanthropic identity and capacity. In schools, camps, and community programs, kids develop empathy by connecting with social issues, discovering themselves and their communities while building a culture of philanthropy through allocating funding to local nonprofits. A kid-hosted podcast shares their voices and perspectives on topics like “The Real School Life” and “Technology for Good” while a kid-reviewed book award centers 1,300 kids as judges of books that most resonate with their values of empathy, responsibility, and philanthropy. With 97.6% of participating kids agreeing that “I am a philanthropist!”, TGS taps into the curiosity and empathy of children to foster lifelong philanthropic practices.
