Greater Washington DC Area Chapter

The Greater Washington Area Chapter of Childhelp makes great strides in the fight against child abuse and neglect and reaps great rewards through its community events and fundraising efforts. The dedicated involvement of chapter volunteers and sponsors, and the unwavering commitment of the community have positively impacted the lives of more than 12,000 children.

Through service projects and community support, the Greater Washington Area Chapter provides mentorship, tutoring and buddy time for the children at the Village. Through the Angel Tag Program, holiday gifts are collected and distributed, with more than 700 collected to date. Fundraising efforts have resulted in hundreds of donated books, art therapy supplies, and even dental care for the children. Other efforts have resulted in raising more than $100,000 which has funded 20,000 calls to the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline.

Chapter Members and volunteers alike are committed to raising awareness, providing prevention education to the community, and enriching the lives of victims at the Childhelp Alice C. Tyler Village.

Childhelp Service Clubs, student-led charity service organizations, strive to make our community a better place while empowering the future generation of philanthropic hearts. Compassionate and carrying students, willing to inspire action and provide service to those in need, work to further Childhelp’s mission to positively impact victims of child abuse and neglect. As a Childhelp Service Club member, you are answering the call to lead, having the courage to serve through speaking up, reaching out and developing your philanthropic heart for the love of a child. Our Childhelp Service Club Coordinator will help to provide ideas for meeting topics and projects depending on what your school allows and what has been successful in other schools in your area.
