In honor of World Mental Health Day on October 10, Kohl’s (NYSE: KSS) today announced a $1.5 million commitment to continue its national partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America. The funding will expand trauma-informed care training across local Clubs nationwide, helping Club professionals create healthy, supportive spaces where young people can build resilience and thrive. Through this next chapter of support, Boys & Girls Clubs of America will equip more staff and Club leaders with specialized training to address youth emotional well-being, manage stress and foster positive development.
“Supporting kids and families is central to our commitment at Kohl’s, because we know that feeling safe and supported is foundational to a child’s success,” said Jennie Kent, Kohl’s chief legal and corporate affairs officer. “We are proud to partner with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to invest in the emotional well-being of young people nationwide, equipping staff with the tools to foster resilience and help kids navigate today's challenges with confidence.”
Creating safe spaces offers crucial support for young people navigating daily challenges. CDC data shows that more than 40% of young people deal with persistent sadness or stress, creating a critical need for positive youth environments.
