Celebrating and Honoring Martin Luther King Jr. by Inspiring Kids to Share Their Dreams
To celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we held several Team Kids Unite Activations across Orange County! We first visited Rolling Hills Elementary School in Fullerton, CA and held an MLK Day Booth where students wrote their dreams to change the word. Then, we visited Trabuco Mesa Elementary School in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA for a MLK Day Classroom Lesson.

We also partnered with Sgt. Pepperoni's Pizza Store to encourage families with children to complete the Team Kids Unite “Dream to Change the World” letter and turn it into their local Sgt. Pepperoni’s for a complimentary slice of pizza. View event photos here
Expanding Teams Coast to Coast
This month we welcomed new members to Team Kids, including two University of California interns named Jessenia and Lana, and three America Needs You Fellows from New York named Muhammad, Joanna and Jessica.

The ANY Fellows recently flew to California for a week-long training led by our staff. During this week, we held training courses each day, team building exercises, and brought the ANY Fellows to a kickoff assembly at Rolling Hills Elementary School in Fullerton, CA to witness the Team Kids Challenge in person. At the end of the week, we celebrated with pizza at Sgt. Pepperoni's Pizza Store in Irvine, CA.

Soon, our new Team Kids Coaches will be leading the Team Kids Challenge at PS149 Danny Kaye Elementary School in Brooklyn, New York and helping empower youth across the country!
