We believe middle schoolers matter. |
TomTod is a youth development nonprofit based in Canton, Ohio that listens to, honors, and advocates for middle schoolers. Yep. You read that right. Middle schoolers, and only middle schoolers. We create programming specifically for 10-14 year olds because we think their perspective is valuable and necessary for the community. |
Our missionTomTod Ideas empowers middle schoolers to explore and launch ideas with empathy and imagination to help their community thrive.
Our compass |
Everything we do is community-based. Early Adolescents are in a critical developmental stage when they are fiercely curious about their place in the world. We aim to tap into that curiosity, directing it toward empathy and community engagement. We cultivate the altruism they’re seeking by encouraging them to pursue the common good through ideas that help their community thrive. When given the chance, middle schoolers want to help their community. We empower them to explore how they can. |
