Kids Who Care, Inc started in 1996, by then twelve years old Alexandra Seidenstein, and has continued to  expand into a state-ranked network of volunteers, who service childcare centers, shelters for abused and neglected women, sites for children who are considered to be at-risk and after-school programs. We have earned the endorsement of the Honorable Christie Todd Whitman and have a number of board members that are part of the leading Academic Institutes in the NY Metropolitan Area (NYU, Columbia University, NY Medical College and Rutgers University).

We are in our twenty-second year of doing community service. And our gratitude is extended to the thousands of our mentors, family, friends and professionals, who volunteer their time, skills and generously donate in a multitude of ways.

Through KWC, students are encouraged to give of themselves to another who is challenged by life’s circumstances.

The children serviced are in shelters because of abuse and/or neglect, or with their mothers in domestic violence centers, where both mother and children have fled for protection against their abuser. We also service underprivileged students to help pursue their dreams of college by helping them prepare their applications and run workshops for their families.

We aim bring to the less fortunate individuals of our community many important services, that they may be lacking. Our volunteers assist with a wide range of applications through our different initiatives which include: helping with homework, aid students in the college application process, provide support to ailing patients receiving long term care, and assist in Trauma workshops, to name a few. Volunteers often participate in holidays and mark milestones with the children, our parents in shelters..
