Why Partner with KinCorps
The Problem: A Double Bind
Gap 1: Lack of Direct Service
Most service opportunities for youth under 13 are indirect
Legal barriers prevent young children from direct service
By age 13, biases and stereotypes are already formed
Gap 2: Traditional Approach
Traditional "helping" often keeps community members in passive roles
Volunteers can require significant staff capacity to coordinate
Community expertise may remain invisible to supporters
The result: Missed opportunities for both meaningful youth engagement AND authentic community connection.
The KinCorps Solution:
Flipping the Model Entirely
Traditional Model
Adults "help" community members
