Aaron’s Presents is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that offers 1) hands-on, individualized mentoring, 2) materials/services, and 3) logistical help to any child in middle school in the gateway cities of Lawrence and Lowell, MA who want to carry out an idea that benefits at least one other person, animal, and/or the environment. We follow the vision of our youth as they create and lead a memorable, meaningful, and fun experience by practicing kindness, empathy, and generosity.

In the process, youth discover the value of their ideas and unique qualities and their ability to make the world better exactly as they are at every age and stage. Ours is a new approach to “community service”, because we’re asking youth to start seeing giving not as an occasional obligation but as their larger purpose.

We envision a world and communities led and inhabited by actively engaged people who care about others and have learned from an early age how to notice needs around them, think of solutions big and small, and take action to implement them in collaboration with others.
