Do you know of a child between the ages of 7 and 17 that is passionate about helping others? Someone with a big heart who gives their time and energy to make the world a better place? If so, they should apply for the Kids Who Give contest!
This month Farm Rich kicks off the third annual Kids Who Give contest, which celebrates young people making a positive impact in the world. To enter or learn more, visit www.kidswhogive.com.
The contest is open to youth aged 7-17 who reside in the U.S.. To be eligible to apply, kids need to be involved in giving back to their communities through volunteer work. For 2012, Farm Rich will recognize quarterly winners as well as an annual grand-prize winner who will receive $10,000 for the charity of his or her choice.
To enter, kids should go to www.kidswhogive.com and submit a 250- to 500-word essay explaining their volunteer work and how it has helped others. Entrants are also encouraged to include a creative representation or video of their story along with their entries. Contest rules, details and deadlines are included on the website.
Join the Kids Who Give conversations on Facebook or follow @kidswhogive on Twitter for contest updates. Video entries can also be viewed on YouTube.
