Every year, generationOn Clubs from around the network submit an annual survey reporting on their accomplishments and service over the past year. For 2013-2014, 350 Clubs from our network of over 1,000 registered Clubs submitted the survey. This Yearbook compiles the data from that survey.

2. generationOn Kids Care Clubs
Kids Care Clubs began in 1990 with the mission
to develop compassion and inspire a spirit of
volunteerism in children. The program retains that
focus to this day and is now a key component of
generationOn offerings.
Clubs are for elementary school-age children and
are led by an adult facilitator. Registration is free
and gains facilitators access to a wide range of
resources.
generationOn Clubs
The generationOn Clubs program provides structured opportunities for elementary, middle and high
school kids and teens to have fun, get involved in their communities and make their mark on the
world. The program includes generationOn Kids Care Clubs, for elementary school-age children, and
generationOn Service Clubs, for middle and high school-age youth.
Club members work together, with the support of a caring adult, to do meaningful hands-on service
projects locally, nationally and globally, documenting their impact and sharing their success stories
online.
Kids and teens can start clubs with friends, at schools, in faith-based and community organizations, or
as a club within a youth-serving organization.

from an adult advisor. Youth ages 13 and up and adult

close to.” - Amal, age 15

opportunity to get involved in service in the El Paso community in

by pulling weeds, trimming trees, and mowing the grass. Members
also helped with laundry, setting up proper shelter for the animals
and, of course, providing the animals with loving care!
