OUR MISSION & VISION
Riley’s Way invests in and supports the next generation of kind leaders. We provide young people with the programs, support and inclusive community they need to thrive as changemakers. Riley’s Way is committed to supporting these young leaders to build a better world that values kindness, empathy, connection and the voices of all youth. We envision a future where kind leaders build a better world. |
Call For Kindness
A national program that funds youth-led projects that inspire kindness, strengthen communities, and bring people together. Winners receive up to $3,000 to fund their project and join a cohort of Fellows from across the country to participate in our Leadership Development Program, learning from experts and each other.
Youth Leadership Retreat
The Youth Leadership Retreat brings together young people from around the country who are kind leaders and change agents in their communities. Teens and young adults participate in skill-building workshops where they learn how to tell their stories, communicate ideas, develop an action plan, build relationships, and treat everyone as a friend.
Riley's Way Councils and Chapters
Riley's Way Councils and Chapters bring together communities of students with different perspectives and supports them to become kind leaders. Councils and Chapters work directly with community groups to make a difference on social justice issues through the lens of empathy and kindness.
