Who we are
Hi, we’re Max and Jake, Latino twin brothers from New Jersey. For as long as we can remember, we’ve been trying to help make the world a better place. We’ve done everything from donating our birthday gifts, helping raise money for fire victims, giving computers for kids libraries, even singing at nursing homes (okay, looking back that one might have done more harm than good). The one challenge we kept running into while trying to help was finding charities that allow kids of all ages to participate. When we realized our friends feel this way too, we decided to launch KIDS THAT DO GOOD – a place where young people can find ways to help their communities.
What we do
Our goal is connecting kids with ways to give back. We find charities, organizations, events or opportunities that welcome kids at a variety of ages. We wanted to create a place where kids and their parents could discover ways to participate locally, regionally or even on a national level. We hope that by using our site, kids and families can quickly find opportunities for any age, location, and the type of organization they want to support.
We also wanted organizations to be able to easily recruit help and spread the word to like-minded people. Here’s to inspiring, encouraging, and empowering the next generation of Kids That Do Good!

Founders
Max and Jake
Jake and Max are Latino twin brothers from NJ who were frustrated that they could not volunteer in certain areas due to their age. Many charities required them to be at least 14 years old. So they were constantly looking for ways to give back. They used all of their birthdays as a fundraiser for a charity of their choice including: donations of computers to the local children’s library, Toughbook computers to the local fire department, monies to Cancer organizations, food pantries and so much more. When they turned 13 they realized that other kids also wanted to get involved but didn’t know how. That’s when they came up with the idea of Kids That Do Good. They wanted to be a resource for kids, at any age, and show that its quite easy to make a difference. It just takes one person to make a huge impact on someone else’s life.

He and his family are consistently looking for ways they can all get involved which can be a challenge when you have two younger sisters and participation can be limited.
