Children are the leaders of tomorrow. Yet around the world, millions lack essential access to education, health care, safe spaces to learn and play, and workforce‑development training that can help them reach their full potential

Thankfully, organizations like Children International are leading the way to provide support to children and youth in need. They aim to create a world without poverty where every child, family, and community is connected, productive, and thriving. And the good news is, your colleagues can support this mission with just a few minutes of their workday.  By partnering with Children International, your workplace helps equip youth with the tools they need to succeed in school, stay healthy, and build meaningful futures.

Children International’s workplace engagement offerings are a great opportunity for companies looking to make an impact for children, as a way to honor upcoming International Youth Day on August 12 or at any time of year. They’re also great activities to offer in conjunction with parent-focused Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) at your workplace. Children International makes it easy to engage your colleagues in meaningful, uniting work, showcasing your company’s commitment to impact. Explore the engagement offering from Children International below and reach out to get connected.

Employee Engagement Offering: Digital Letters of Encouragement
Your workplace, department, or ERG can set up an in-person or virtual event inviting staff to write letters of encouragement to children being helped by Children International. This is a quick but impactful activity that can be done in almost any setting; consider making it an activity your team does together at the end of a staff call or as a lunchtime activity. It could also easily be paired with other events, like a lunch & learn with Children International staff to learn more about the state of children’s needs worldwide. Many employees are already looking to support children with their workplace donation — this can be a great way to pair their contributions with an impactful event.

Children living in poverty need encouragement and support. By writing a letter to a child in a Children International community, you can let them know someone cares and is wishing them well. This can be incredibly motivating as they work for a brighter, more hopeful future. As part of this offering, Children International offers letter writing tips to encourage children to stay in school, work hard, and believe in their dreams.

Want to deepen your impact? There are plenty of other ways your company can get involved with Children International:

  • Share knowledge and advice: Give your time and expertise with a pro-bono project geared toward youth who are exploring careers. You’ll describe your job and the life skills that brought you to your path.
  • Large scale kitting events: Support children and families in vulnerable communities with life-changing donations, such as school supplies, technological devices, or disaster relief response items.
  • Raise funds as a team with your colleagues: Join with your coworkers to raise funds for key areas of support for children in need. $10 a month can ensure six children in Manila, Philippines, receive medical care through direct primary care or telehealth services at Children International community centers. $208 a month can give 15 children and youth in Guatemala access to STEM activities.
