About Us

The Kids4Kids (K4K) Committee works to support the Share & Care Signature Program Educate2Success (E2S). This program creates lasting and sustainable change in India by providing underprivileged children the tools and opportunities they need in order to get the education they deserve.

Share & Care Kids4Kids (SCFK4K), is composed of over 65 dedicated and passionate high school students in the New York/New Jersey area, working to support the Share & Care Educate 2 Success (E2S). E2S is a program that benefits underprivileged children in India to receive the education they deserve. We strongly believe that education is the key to end cycles of poverty in rural India. We aim to raise funds through our various events and fundraisers. In the past we have hosted a Super Bowl event, CycleBar event, Bollywood workout, Fortnite competition, a 5K marathon, and an Online Yoga class. Furthermore, we are selling t-shirts online to raise money, which can be found above. We encourage any new volunteers to join our team and get involved in our work!

A donation of $35 gives you a year membership and a free Share & Care t-shirt (while supplies last). A donation of $130 gives you a lifetime membership and guarantees one year of education for a student. Therefore, we appreciate any donation no matter the amount. The donation link can be found below.

The Kids4Kids Scavenger Hunt was a blast!

On Saturday, September 17th, the Kids4Kids team hosted their first-ever Annual Summer Event: a Hollywood and Bollywood-themed Scavenger Hunt! Kids and adults of all ages had a great time finding clues, making friends, and winning prizes, all while raising critical funds and awareness for children’s education in rural India.

With the help of enthusiastic donors, sponsors, and community members, the Kids4Kids team raised a total of $10,000 during this event. A generous donor had also offered to match the event’s proceeds up to $10,000, bringing the total funds raised to $20,000! These funds will be used to support Share & Care’s Educate 2 Success program, which provides help to brilliant but underserved scholars living in rural India, giving them the opportunity to thrive academically and build a brighter future for themselves and their families.

The K4K team extends its sincerest gratitude to everyone who attended the event, donated, or contributed in any way!
