Young people can do amazing things, including starting a charity. Fundraising for worthwhile causes is important work. And it’s not just for adults. Kids can also raise money to help other people, animals, or the environment. With a little help, young people can start their own nonprofit organization dedicated to a specific cause. Some charities founded by kids have become national success stories. Helping others makes people feel good. Some research has even shown that it improves both mental and physical health. Part of the Yes, You Can! series, Start a Charity is a guide for young people thinking about raising money for causes close to their hearts.
