Located in southern California, Children’s Smiles' presence and efforts, while most prominent in San Diego, is spread throughout California and the rest of the United States. Touching the hearts and smiles of more than 2,000 children per year, Children’s Smiles participates in a series of outreach programs from stuffed animal giveaways and parties for hospitalized children and their families to finding mentors for troubled youth. We inspire and encourage each and every child to discover their confident, powerful self and realize the bright, successful future that lies ahead.

Self-confidence means something different for everyone; it is personal. In most cases it is an innate feature that grows and prospers through support and encouragement. When a child goes through a traumatic event or is abused their self-confidence weakens and continues to diminish without the necessary aid. Children’s Smiles understands the intricate process of losing and regaining self-confidence and ensures that the children they sponsor receive the necessary resources in order to become a well-rounded, loving, comforted and educated adult.

We encourage YOU to think about your life journey and how self-confidence played a role in your success. If you find yourself emotionally connected to our organization, we encourage you to get involved and email us at childrenssmiles@childrenssmiles.org. YOU are invited to change a child’s life.
