About Us

Our Vision

At Rodman for Kids, we believe every young person deserves access to the programs, resources, and opportunities they need to dream, grow, and succeed. 

Our Mission

We are committed to raising resources, building capacity, and creating opportunities for youth-focused organizations, their leaders, and the kids they serve.   

About the Organization

Rodman for Kids empowers youth-serving organizations, elevating their work and strengthening their impact so they can better support the kids they serve.

We believe organizations can have an even greater impact when they have access to the right resources, relationships, experiences, and opportunities. By removing barriers and providing access, we help organizations build on the work they’re already doing and broaden what’s possible for the young people they serve, ultimately amplifying their impact.

Rodman for Kids acts as a catalyst, convener, and collaborator – working alongside organizations to remove barriers, connect them to resources and experiences, and create opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach. That could be strengthening an organization’s capacity, network, or ability to raise resources with our Charity Partner Program, or providing access to an experience that expands what’s possible for the young people they serve with our Theatre for Kids program.

Across everything we do, the goal is the same: strengthen and empower the organizations that support kids so they can deepen their impact, create opportunities, and build brighter futures for the young people they serve.
