Mentoring: Cool Kids' Committee, Inc. provides small group talks, helping our children channel their inner thoughts by providing them with conversations to help them deal with school, home-life and personal feelings. We teach them to understand the importance of being independent, and show them how to give back to the community by volunteering and therefore displaying their leadership.
Building Community Bridges: Cool Kids' Committee, Inc. believes it doesn't matter your religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, nor profession. What matters is what's inside. Are you a good person? Cool Kids' Committee, Inc. is working with local police departments to bridge the gap between our local law enforcement officers and our local youth. We feel as a community it is important to come together to build relationships, and work together to improve issues surrounding us. No issue is solved with a lack of communication.

Creative Writing: Cool Kids' Committee, Inc. provides children with creative writing opportunities. Writing is an expression of one's most inner thoughts, and is useful as a tool for thinking, expression, and creativity. It's a form of self-expression used to open one's heart. Allowing the writer to escape their environment has also been known to improve mood, well-being and reduce stress.
Anti-Bullying / Pro-Kindness: We all come from different places, have different life experiences, belief systems, and other important aspects that make us who we are. Cool Kid's Committee, Inc. believes we are in a time like no other. Our differences are reminded to us almost every day, but what we hope to accomplish one day at a time, one child at a time, is teaching kindness and equality. Black people, White people, gay people, Muslim people, Christian people, Jewish people, young people, old people; the common word seen here is people. We are all people, and the future we want will be determined by how we decide to treat each other, and whether or not we decide to focus on what divides us or what brings us together. That is why at Cool Kid's Committee, Inc. we stress pro-kindness. Along with speaking to young people in schools, we also have our annual Put a Freeze on Bullying 5K Run/Walk.
