America’s Cars for Kids Help At-Risk Youth

America’s Cars for Kids is a charitable organization that turns car, truck, boat, and computer donations from all over America into a means to provide alternative education for at-risk youth including kids who have significant social issues and challenges. America Can! academies helps these students learn on their own terms, providing a path to economic independence.

At-risk youth receive relationship-based education and training as well as concentrated counseling. Students voluntarily work toward their high school diploma and enjoy a more flexible attendance schedule. Students learn in a non-threatening environment, receive focused attention, and complete their high school diploma.

Americas Cars for Kids helps fund these programs by accepting working or non-working vehicle donations such as cars, truck, boats, planes and computers. These donated vehicles are then auctioned to assist financially with student needs such as transportation, computer labs, school supplies, career and college counseling, and more.
