WARM2Kids Charitable Foundation’s main program is the Role Models in Action Program, an action-oriented set of initiatives that further inspire and reward rising role models. The program is available to all students, school systems, and youth organizations, and consists of two exciting components:

1. Role Model School Visit -- Celebrities and Heroes get up-close with middle and high school students to deliver inspirational and motivational life lessons, and challenge students to make positive life decisions.
2. Role Model Community Project -- Students and Educators create effective mentoring, community service, and awareness campaigns; they give back for a chance to get rewarded with grants and access to an exclusive WARM2Kids live celebrity role model event.

Role Models in Action is designed to provide unique opportunities to students and schools that demonstrate the positive impact of mentoring and role models, as well as the importance and potential of collective, community-based outreach.

Role Model School Visit Program

The Role Model School Visit Program communicates to kids and teens that they can be a role model, giving them a renewed sense of hope. Get Excited! Kids and Teens are given the rare opportunity to have direct contact with one of their favorite athletes, entertainers, or other public figures. Celebrity role models visit local schools in communities around the country, and share their personal stories and life experiences to communicate to members of the audience the following messages:

"You are not alone" in facing personal, family, or social issues
" Although Nobody’s Perfect, We’re All Role Models"
" It’s Your Responsibility to Strive to be a Role Model"

School visits are arranged in the communities and schools where our network of national celebrities were born, raised, educated, and given a chance to succeed. The program offers celebrities an opportunity to ‘give back’ to the communities they care most about, and offers students a rare opportunity to interact with, and hear the real life stories of some of today's most popular personalities. This program will continue to expand to reach out to more and more schools as the WARM2Kids Charitable Foundation continues to add to its list of participating Celebrity Role Models.

Role Model Community Project

Students that attend Role Model School Visits are invited by the visiting celebrity role models to participate in the Role Model Community Project. The Role Model Community Project guides kids to learn key habits that lead to attaining their potential academically, socially, and athletically. The project improves local communities and gives students and schools a chance to compete for much needed financial rewards. Additionally, the program improves relationships with corporations surrounding participating schools.

The project challenges students to work with their teachers to create a class community service project. Projects must exhibit ‘role model’ behavior or activities, but may range from students mentoring and tutoring younger students or volunteering at youth centers such as the YMCA or Boy’s and Girl’s Clubs, to simply setting good examples by cleaning up and renovating playground areas or creating school recycling, academic, or athletic programs. The project culminates with a ‘Final Project’, whereby each class submits a ‘Creative Endeavor’ illustrating their community service experience. Each student submits a short individual essay, describing what they learned from the Role Model Community Project. Accompanied by a ‘Teacher Reflection’ questionnaire, these projects are submitted to a panelist of five judges. Winners receive one of three prizes:

• Grand Prize Winners…Exclusive celebrity event invitataion
• 1st Prize Winners...a $5,000 grant presented by a celebrity role model
• 2nd Prize Winners...a $1,000 grant presented by a local role model
