What is Chores for Change?

Chores for Change is a program of service and learning.

It's about serving people in need in your community, and learning about the world, yourself and how to make a difference.

Participants in the Chores for Change program volunteer time working at an established hunger-fighting organization or initiative, such as passing out food at a soup kitchen or collecting cans for a food bank. The first-hand experience of confronting hunger issues in the community teaches lifelong lessons about hunger and how to help eliminate this common tragedy.

Each participant also recruits sponsors to pledge donations for time spent in volunteer activities. When the Chores for Change program ends, participants collect the donations and send them to Heifer International to help fight world hunger. The first-hand experience of raising money to help people in need internationally teaches important lessons about world hunger and our global community.

Chores for Change is designed especially for students of all ages, though anyone is welcome to participate.
