"We are a program that goes to the streets and helps homeless and street kids. We feed, clothe, and counsel them, helping kids get off the streets. Our volunteers are consistently making the difference in the lives of hundreds of homeless and street kids on a weekly basis." Whatever your skills or time commitment, we can use your help! STANDUP FOR KIDS has been recognized by the White House on three occasions, the U.S. Justice Department, The Governor's Office for Children, Arizona on two occasions, the Secretary of State for Colorado, American Express, AT&T and USWest, and has been awarded the prestigious JCPenney Golden Rule Award. "We tell homeless and street kids that we care about them and then go to the streets and prove it!" After receiving our extensive training program, Outreach Counselors go to the streets, for a few hours each week, to help homeless and street kids. We take food, clothes, hygiene products, and information to help the kids that believe no one any longer cares.. We do!
