Do you remember the first time you knew you mattered? Not simply that someone, like a teacher, parent or friend, told you, but that you knew, deep inside, that you and your life mattered? For children, this moment of awareness can be the most defining development of their young lives, and can shape the paths they take, the relationships they form and their inherent self-worth. 

Founded on the principles of the iMatter™ program, iMatter for Kids™ is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization established to help kids realize they matter.  Using the Girls and Boys Empowered Program we give the tools and motivation for kids to realize their worth, in gaining confidence in their own voice and expressing what they believe in, as well as in cultivating awareness and respect for themselves and for others. Moreover, our programs teach kids, parents and teachers the skills for how to deal with bullying and mean-spirited behavior which are ongoing problems beginning as early as preschool.

Our Mission

The mission of iMatter for Kids is simply stated by our motto - “Be Kind, Be True, Be ‘Greatful’, Be You!”  We help build a positive culture in schools and communities where children are empowered, kindness is the norm, and children are celebrated for who they are.
