About Us

Compassionate Kids founder Kelly Palmatier with Talisman, one of the family's many rescued pets. CLICK TO ENLARGE.Compassionate Kids is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in the year 2004 by Kelly Palmatier, a vegan (vegetarian) foster/adoptive mom with a background in business, communications, and web design.

"As a homeschooling family, we were already teaching our own children compassion," says Palmatier, "and I realized I was ready to share these lessons with the world."

Compassionate Kids, Inc. is dedicated to helping teach children compassion towards the Earth, people, and animals. The website, CompassionateKids.com, has articles, book reviews, and free printable activities. There are local chapters all across the country that host compassion-oriented field trips and community service events approximately once a month.

Field trips and events vary from month to month and from state to state, but are always related to compassion. A field trip to an organic farm can teach about helping the Earth. A canned food drive benefits people. A visit to an animal sanctuary teaches about the value of all living creatures.

Corporate sponsorship and donations are a necessary part of the organization's future, as membership is free, and the organization is currently run entirely by unpaid volunteers, including the founder and board of directors.

"I really think it's an idea whose time has come," says Palmatier. "In a matter of months, we already have members across six continents."
