Kids educate other kids about poverty and hunger.
The major goal of KIDS is to stimulate the students to take some definite action as they begin to realize that one person can make a difference. The program teaches kids how to help other kids, instead of leaving action up to experts and adults. Having created an innovative teacher guide and KIDS Newsletter, the Levines have extended their program to include over 800 public, private and religious schools across the United States. The Peace Corps has purchased 200 curriculum guides for use in its own programs. KIDS has won numerous recognition awards, and one of its major strengths continues to be the outstanding group of dedicated teachers involved in the program at the classroom level.
