Charity Partners

Rodman for Kids believes in the power of collaboration, working together with 40+ youth-focused non-profit organizations as a true partner towards a common vision to support the most vulnerable young people in our communities. We not only act as a core funder of these organizations, but as a convenor and catalyst.

The 40+ organizations below partner with us on our Rodman Ride for Kids event, but we support many other organizations, schools, and programs that align with our mission.

Area of Focus: Mentoring & Leadership

Bottom Line

Bottom Line partners with degree-aspiring students from first-generation and low-income backgrounds as they get into college, graduate, and go far in life. Their vision is to create a far-reaching ripple effect, launched by the transformative power of a college degree and a mobilizing first career, that will uplift individuals, families, and entire communities.

One Bead

One Bead’s mission is to close the opportunity gap in Boston. At One Bead, we unlock potential in young students by introducing them to diverse professionals in school, online, and in the community. These professionals are leaders in their industry, but many are also immigrants, English language learners, and/or first-generation college graduates.

They speak candidly about their experiences confronting and overcoming adversity and, in doing so, validate the lived experiences of our students. Each interaction encourages youth to expand their horizons and envision themselves in similar positions of power and influence.

Camp Avoda

Camp Avoda is an all-boys Jewish overnight summer camp for ages 8-16, situated on beautiful Lake Tispaquin in Middleboro, MA…the gateway to Cape Cod. Camp Avoda designs programs that build self-confidence and independence.

Our balanced program gives your son flexibility in choosing his activities: sports, waterfront, individual achievement opportunities, arts and more. Our camp has every facility and resource you could want, without the sprawling size. At Avoda, the athletic field is everyone’s front yard. Everyone knows each other, and we are all one close, united Avoda family. Summer camp is a team sport, and whether by bunk, division, team, or the whole camp together, we support each other, learn from each other, and feel connected to each other. Camp pride and Avoda spirit are forged naturally from daily teamwork, shared experiences, and friendships that are easily made yet stand the test of time.

Mass Mentoring Partnership

At Mass Mentoring Partnership, we are driven to make positive relationships with caring adults integral to the life of every young person in Massachusetts.
