ABOUT LAUNCHPAD 4 KIDS: LaunchPad 4 Kids was founded in 2015. The program was developed to support children who may not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities. The two-year program works with schools and teachers to nominate children with need. Each activity is funded via crowdfunding from individuals. Once children are fully funded, LaunchPad places the child in an activity of their choice. Each child participates in three different activities for three months at a time. Once this first year is completed, the child enters a full year of the activity they excelled in.
