Ruperts Kids Inc

Rupert’s Kids is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization stemming directly from the vision of America’s Favorite Survivor and lifetime philanthropist and youth mentor, Rupert Boneham. Rupert’s Kids is dedicated to serving an easily overlooked population of youth: those that have become too old for the youth social service system, but are not old enough for the adult social service system. Program participants are taught valuable skills and trades, while empowering them to discover their inner strengths, passions, and interests.

Program participants face many obstacles and restrictions as a result of previous life choices. Participants receive mentoring as well as the opportunity to learn work ethic, social skills, and life competencies for future success, while earning a legal living. They receive help and hope as they face the real struggles of everyday life, and they learn to become a healthy and productive member of the community. OUR GOALS:

• Provide mentoring and educational programming to at-risk youth in our communities
• Foster community partnerships, which serve youth and families
• Facilitate delivery of financial assistance and/or services to youth, in the areas of education, vocational training and job placement
• Develop committed volunteers and donors to provide resources of time, money and property
