Berkeley County Kids Who Care is a not-for-profit organization. We are able to continue to raise environmental awareness because of donations from our sponsors.

What We Do

The Kids Who Care program conducts two projects each school year:

1. An environmental project competition

2. An environmental field day.

1. Project Competition

Over the years, project submissions and student and teacher representation have steadily increased. In 2008/2009, there were 3961 students and 180 teachers who participated in 90 different projects. This was a large increase over the previous year! In additon over $6200 in grants and class awards were given to project winners. Because project packets are sent to teachers at the start of the school year, students have the opportunity to learn about the environment throughout the year.

2. Backyard NatureScope

Annual Environmental Field Day

The Berkeley County Kids Who Care Board of Directors hosts an annual environmental field day, entitled Backyard NatureScope, at the Old Santee Canal Park in Moncks Corner, SC.

The field day provides an opportunity for all the students who participate in the annual project competition to learn from environmental specialists and community businesses what can be done to protect and enhance our environment. In 2008/2009, over 3300 children participated and were able to attend Backyard NatureScope.
