The mission of STANDUP FOR KIDS is to help homeless and street kids. We do this, every day, in cities across America. We carry out our mission through our volunteers who go to the streets in order to find, stabilize and otherwise help homeless and street kids improve their lives. Our focus goes beyond street outreach and extends to deterrence and resource programs that we provide in schools and via the internet. But all facets of our mission are guided by the mandate that our volunteers shall tell kids they care about them and then, at every point, prove it. Many thanks to Scott Hancock from the Glue Network for raising awareness and his fundraising. Check out his site to see the latest amazing mural creation that is being auctioned to benefit STANDUP FOR KIDS!
