KHLOE THOMPSON

UNITED STATES, 13

Project: Khloe Kares
Focus Area: Homelessness/Youth Voice

Khloe is a 13-year-old international philanthropist. She recognized a common challenge faced by youth was connecting their passion with a sustainable purpose. At age 8, she started her own global non-profit organization called Khloe Kares, which helps young people discover and realize their passions. The Khloe Kares Leadership Workshop trains youth in leadership, business planning, and public speaking skills. Khloe’s mission is to show students how to both set goals and achieve them.

Khloe Kares also partners with companies, churches and other organizations throughout Southern California and the United States to co-host “Kare Bag Day.” They distribute supplies to homeless communities and engage youth in service.

On a global scale, Khloe collaborates with well-known advocate Dawn Sutherland to host a weeklong seminar in Ghana to empower and encourage young women to be leaders in business. Khloe has also installed water pumps and bathroom facilities in schools there that lack access to clean water.

Khloe has published two children’s books, GirlBlazer and Marisol’s Helping Hand, is a Giving Tuesday Leader, and she continues to lead youth in her community and across the world to be changemakers.
