For many children, especially those navigating the difficult middle school and high school years, appearance and self-esteem play a major role in how they feel about themselves and how they are treated by others. A clean, properly fitting pair of shoes can help a student walk into school with pride instead of insecurity.
Selected children receive a brand new pair of shoes, chosen from their top three picks so they feel proud and confident wearing them.
Referred by trusted professionals for kindness, courage, leadership, and integrity, not their circumstances.
Resource events bring clothing, shoes, and household essentials to families in a welcoming, dignified environment.
Numbers will be filled in with your real impact data.
Bullying continues to impact millions of students across America. According to the CDC, roughly 1 in 5 high school students report being bullied, and middle school rates are even higher. We understand that shoes may seem small to some, but to a child, they can mean everything.
At Kicks and Confidence Collective, our mission goes beyond footwear. We want every child to feel seen, valued, and confident in who they are.
