Giving opportunities
KidsPeace New England provides the community with a Statement of Need annually, highlighting critical areas where support can change lives. This annual outreach offers businesses the opportunity to align with a trusted nonprofit that has served children and families for more than 140 years.
We are proud to share that KidsPeace successfully completed its Capital Campaign and officially opened its new school campus in Orono in November of 2025. This significant achievement has expanded our footprint and strengthened our ability to serve children and families throughout the central and northern regions of Maine. The new state-of-the-art facility enhances accessibility, increases capacity, and provides an innovative learning environment designed to support the educational and therapeutic needs of the children we serve. This expansion reflects our ongoing commitment to improving outcomes for children and families while increasing access to high-quality services in communities across the state.
Volunteer opportunities
KidsPeace thrives because of the generosity of community members who offer their time and services. Business and individuals can make a lasting difference by volunteering in ways that match their skills and passions. Opportunities include hosting donation drives, assisting with special events like our Annual Charity Golf Scramble, or joining our Board of Associates, our volunteer fundraising board. These acts of services not only enhance the programs and environment for the children we serve but strengthen our community. Community involvement brings hope, help, and joy to children and families in need. Together, with our community, we can change lives.
