Studies have shown that maintaining a healthy physical appearance is crucial to building positive self-esteem in young children. With strong self-esteem, kids tend to have a more positive outlook on life, form healthier personal relationships, and are more likely to stick with tasks until they succeed. Good self-esteem has also been shown to increase courage and boost confidence in making healthy choices.
For this reason, we've launched the Kutz for Kids program, through which we provide free year-round haircuts to children from underserved families. We also provide free books and computers to the children in the program. Envisioned by Marcus himself, the purpose of Kutz for Kids is to boost kids' social outcomes by helping them maintain a healthy physical appearance, all while raising juvenile literacy rates and bridging the digital divide.
The math is simple:
Free haircuts all year 'round + free books and computers = guaranteed boost in kids' social outcomes
We're proud of our ever-popular Kutz for Kids program, and even more proud that it's helped hundreds of children and families since we launched it last year.
Hear Marcus share more detailed info about Kutz for Kids, including why he was inspired to start it.
It's not about giving free haircuts...
...it's about giving chances.
We couldn't be happier to be making such a huge impact in the lives of our Kutz for Kids participants, and we're looking forward to doing even more for them in the months and years to come.
We're extremely grateful to the Kramden Institute for helping us continue to bridge the digital divide!
