About Us
Carter’s World Youth Organization was founded to support and uplift youth in our community by providing resources, guidance and real opportunities for growth. What began as a simple idea quickly grew into something much bigger. In 2019, Carter—just seven years old at the time—started collecting coats to give to children in need. With the help of family, friends and local supporters, what started as a small effort turned into a community-wide movement known as “Carter’s Annual Coat Drive.”
Today, that same spirit continues to drive our mission. We are committed to expanding Carter’s vision by creating programs that provide essential support while helping young people build confidence, discipline, and a positive path forward. Our goal is simple: to ensure every child feels valued, and empowered to succeed—no matter their circumstances.
