Our Mission is to make a difference of understanding, compassion, and empathy by creating opportunities for the participation of all children. We encourage them to become proactive, empowered, and engaged members of our communities.

All of our diverse programs are dedicated to involving, serving, educating, and promoting the untapped resource of our collective national treasure-children.

Care Pack provides children entering foster care with a duffel bag filled with new items at this critical time.

Children for Charity encourages children to become active volunteers in local, national, and global communities.

Cultural Education 4 Kids brings multi-cultural education, books, and service learning projects to young children.

Our Story

In April of 2005 the founders of Blossom, Michele Rodriguez and Elizabeth Cregan, wanted to begin volunteering with their children at an early age because they knew from experience that helping others would encourage understanding, compassion, and social responsibility.  They were disappointed to find few opportunities for family volunteering within their own communities.  Most organizations said that young children lacked the ability to be productive volunteers and that legal liabilities were a problem. The opportunities that were available were for tasks like stuffing envelopes, were not empowering, or were only available for older children. The founders then decided to look at issues around them that could use their help and could also provide important volunteer opportunities for young children.

After a little bit of trial and error during Blossom's early years, four programs emerged. These programs all serve children and they also employ the service of young volunteers to do so.

Everyday, Blossom receives phone calls, e-mails, and letters from groups, children, and families wanting to know how they can do the same work in their own communities. As we look towards Blossom's future we are working hard to make replication of our programs as easy as possible for individuals, families, groups, and corporations who are interested. Please contact us for more information.

Today, Blossom is a place where good things grow.
