New World Kids · Two communities. One mission.

Help young people turn what they love into what comes next.

In Seattle, we connect youth to mentors and paid opportunities through sports, art and urban gardening. In Puerto Vallarta, we're building a food forest and community learning center that shows what's possible.

Two communities. Different needs.

Start with what matters here.

New World Kids builds around the community we're in. In Seattle, we start with local youth interested in art, sports and urban gardening. In Puerto Vallarta, we started with land restoration, food systems and the needs of the local community.

Seattle · Art + Sports + Opportunity

Culture Shock

Culture Shock is our Seattle pilot. We use sports, art and urban gardening to help underserved youth discover what they're good at, connect to paid opportunities, and work on projects that make a difference in their own community. Paint the mural. Produce the game. Grow the garden. Build something you can show.

Puerto Vallarta · Land + Food + Community

Proyecto Indigo Azul

Proyecto Indigo Azul is a working food forest and learning site. We're building a demonstration center to empower youth and work on real problems around food, water, energy and shelter.

Public records

What the paperwork actually proves.

Two records matter here: our Washington nonprofit incorporation and our fiscal sponsorship agreement. We show them separately so you can see exactly what each one proves.

Seattle is next

Help us start with 12 young people.

We're building the first Seattle Culture Shock cohort around art, sports, urban gardening, mentors, and one real community project. Your support helps us pay young people, bring in mentors, run the project, and connect participants to what comes next.

If you ever think you're too small to make a difference, try going to sleep with a mosquito in the room.
