Mentors must be 21+, have a valid driver’s license, and background/CORI/SORI checks.Project ShoppersProject shoppers identify and/or acquire project materials, online or in stores, for specific projects.

About us | Aaron’s Presents is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization giving young kids an opportunity to dream up and carry out a project that benefits others, gaining valuable leadership and project management skills in the process. We believe that by enabling kids to experience firsthand what it feels like to impact others’ lives for good, and by making it as memorable, meaningful and fun as possible, we can cement traits like empathy, generosity and a sense of purpose from an early age. These traits are being shown by more and more research to lead to all kinds of successful and positive life outcomes. |
