Target employees built 106 Teen Mental Health kits during an in-person volunteer event. The kits are designed to support teen mental wellness, giving young people tools and encouragement during a hard stretch of life.
How it worked
The team ran the build themselves, self-hosted with Project Helping’s facilitator guide and step-by-step kit instructions. Each volunteer assembled an individual kit from their own boxed set. A Project Helping program manager set up the program in advance and made sure the right kits and instructions arrived on time, so the team could focus on the build itself. No customization was added to the kits, keeping the focus on the standard design that partner organizations helped shape. Once the kits were finished, Target shipped them back to Project Helping using prepaid labels for distribution.
The finished kits will go out through Project Helping’s nonprofit network to teens who can use the support. Programs like this show how a single in-person session can turn into more than 100 kits reaching people who need them. Any team can run a similar build, whether it fits into a meeting, an off-site, or a dedicated volunteer day.
