About Us

Founder's Message:

Since I was a teenager, I’ve always known I wanted to change the world. Life had other plans first—I got married, raised kids, built a career, got divorced, became an entrepreneur, and now, at 61, I’m a PhD candidate.

Through it all, one thing never changed: my unshakable drive to make a difference.

It wasn’t until I returned to the classroom as a mature student that I truly grasped the power of education. I learned to think critically and saw the world in a new light. That’s when Change Buddy was born.

I realized kindness is more than a virtue—it’s a tool for transformation. And if we want a better world, we have to start young. As a mother, I know kids need motivation, structure, and recognition. That’s why I created the Change Buddy Reward System—to not only teach kids the power of giving, but to celebrate them for it.

With Change Buddy, rewards come from purchases, academic milestones, and acts of community kindness. Parents can earn on behalf of their kids. Kids can earn through their own actions. Schools and families get the tools to help kids track, recognize, and celebrate kindness—through our Kindness Tracker, seasonal awards, badges, certificates, trophies, and more.

This is Change Buddy.

A tool for parents.

A program for schools.

A movement for the next generation.

Because when we teach kindness early, we don’t just raise good kids—we raise better humans.
