The mission of The Project Give Foundation is simple: empower middle school students across the country with the ability to make a difference in the world around them. The middle school years can be the most tumultuous and pivotal for adolescents, yet few programs exist that address this age group in an effective way. Project Give allows students to be heroes as they become part of the solution to problems they feel are important.
Project Give presents middle schools with a generous grant per semester to conduct their service projects.
