There are kids in our community doing incredible things every single day, and most of the time, they’re doing it quietly.

They’re helping neighbors, volunteering their time, spreading kindness at school, standing up for others, and showing compassion well beyond their years. Now, we want to make sure those kids get the recognition they deserve.

We've teamed up with GPO Federal Credit Union for the GPO Community Kid, a monthly spotlight celebrating local kids who are making a positive difference in their community.

Who Is A GPO Community Kid?

Each month, we’ll select one outstanding child who is going above and beyond to help others. Whether it’s volunteering, acts of kindness, leadership, or simply being a bright light where it’s needed most, if a kid is doing good, we want to hear about it.
