Growing Spoons - Volunteer for the development of youth well-being

Growing Spoons is a passionate, youth-led nonprofit on a mission to uplift children and families facing food insecurity, kids living in homeless shelters, and young patients in hospitals. We believe that even the smallest acts of kindness can spark hope and transform lives.

Through creative outreach, virtual connection, and hands-on service, we spread joy and compassion where it’s needed most. Our team organizes impactful fundraisers to provide nourishing meals, essential supplies, and personalized care packages. We host research programs where volunteers have the opportunity to write youth-led papers on pediatric topics—ranging from child development and nutrition to mental health and healthcare access. These projects allow young people to explore important issues while contributing meaningfully to our mission of supporting children in need.

We also design and collect handmade and digital cards filled with encouragement and love to brighten the days of kids in shelters and hospitals. Every card, every workshop, every fundraiser is a step toward building a kinder world.

And we can’t do it without you.

We’re always looking for volunteers to help lead activities, support our fundraisers, and share in our mission. Whether you're an artist, a storyteller, a helper, or a dreamer, there’s a place for you here. Together, we can make a lasting difference, one small act of kindness at a time.

Be the reason a child smiles today. Join Growing Spoons.
