local high school students in need or those with a passion for community service. 

✔️ EQUIPS

students with utility, discipline and confidence to foster compassion and academic excellence.

✔️ CHALLENGES

students to community service requirements that expose them to diverse socioeconomic disparities and medical challenges.

✔️ EMPOWERS

students to challenge inequities and implement solutions.


The Brighter Days Program

✔️ IDENTIFIES

local children or families deserving of a “Brighter Day”.

✔️ CONTRIBUTES

meaningful acts or experiences that put smiles on their faces and distracts them from their worries, if only for a day!

✔️ ESTABLISHES

youth-oriented community events that promote positive energy, meaningful relationships and goodwill toward others.

✔️ INSPIRES

positive change and hope for brighter days!


Aligning our 2 Programs:

✔️ LEVERAGES

the talents of our BDK Scholars and ever-growing Army of Volunteers to facilitate large scale community events. 

✔️ INSPIRES

a ripple effect of kindness and goodwill throughout the community.

✔️ BUILDS

meaningful relationships and initiatives that inspire community value, participation and support!

✔️ EFFECTS 

positive change in the lives of our local youth & beyond!!
