OC World Guest Host Vikki Vargas Explores The Bradley Rofer Foundation

A story about The Bradley Rofer Foundation, a nonprofit inspired by 8-year-old Bradley Rofer whose life was cut short after being struck by a vehicle on his way to school and their partnership with Lion’s Heart to bring family volunteering to communities.

What Makes Lion's Heart Different?

We are a nonprofit organization.

We don’t belong to investors or owners, we belong to the community.

All money the organization makes is invested directly back into Lion’s Heart.

No Fundraising, Flexible, and Dedicated

Lion’s Heart is not a fundraising organization, instead, members are encouraged to give back to their communities in meaningful ways while building empathy and positive leadership skills.

We have dedicated staff who cultivate age-appropriate nonprofit opportunities for teens for every chapter.

Families Grow Through Service

Volunteering teaches empathy, compassion and a sense of purpose from an early age. Volunteering with family strengthens family bonds, community, and creates a positive model for giving back to those less fortunate and stepping out of comfort zones.

Young people who volunteer are likely to continue making a difference as young adults.
