Pebble Tossers is a 501(c)(3) non profit corporation serving Metro Atlanta.
Philosophy: As a tossed pebble can create expansive ripples of water, a child's act of service can create ripples of giving that span their community and lifetime. The key is letting the child choose their own "pebble".
As a child, what did you love to do most? Were you a Puddle Jumper? A Block Builder? A Doll Dresser? What excited you?
Pebble Tossers believes the way to engage kids in volunteer activities is to match the things they are good at or like to do with real world needs. A Puddle Jumper can pick up trash from a local creek. A Block Builder can stack jars at a food pantry. A Doll Dresser can collect outgrown baby clothes from neighbors to donate to a shelter.
Mission: The Pebble Tossers mission is to ignite a passion for volunteerism in children by matching their talents, abilities and interests with the needs of their community.
Founders: Jeni Stephens and Jen Guynn, friends
and busy mothers of 7 young children, founded
Pebble Tossers in September 2008. Sharing a
zest for volunteerism and community involvement,
they recognized a lack of resources to help
families find age-appropriate volunteer
opportunities in Atlanta. The idea was developed
into an online volunteer matching service for kids
that makes it both fun and easy to get involved
in their communities.
