Our Mission

We believe all children deserve a chance to thrive and strive to make philanthropy a lifelong practice for us and other kids that want to join us. With KYE-YAC International, no donation of any kind is too small if given from the heart. The combined effort of many gifts given over the course of each year makes an impact greater than the sum of its parts.

Annually the all-youth KYE-YAC board chooses specific children's charities to support after in-depth research and many site visits. You can support our work and our future by simply by making your donation online at our donations tab above or by mailing it to the Hot Springs Area Community Foundation, P.O. Box 56, Hot Springs, AR 71902. Your donation will be tax-deductible. Every penny raised by KYE-YAC goes to directly to charity.

We also have a Volunteer Form that kids of any age can fill out with their parents permission and work with us when we volunteer in our community and beyond.

KYE-YAC's goal is to achieve a future in which kids all over the world are joining to create a better tomorrow. The importance of modeling and teaching compassion for others is a guiding principle of KYE-YAC, as is the concept “A World of Giving.”

Thanks for joining us!
