Kids' Chance of America

Behind every Kids’ Chance scholarship is a network of people who care.

Claims professionals. Employers. Carriers. Attorneys. Brokers. TPAs. State agencies. Each has the potential to connect a family to support when they need it most.

For our National Ambassador Tailah Jeanty, B.S. (Kids'​ Chance of Illinois alum), that support made a difference not only throughout college, but to this day. As the daughter of a nurse whose career was changed by a workplace injury, Tailah knows firsthand how an injury can affect an entire family.

“Kids’ Chance was there for me for all four years of college,” Tailah shares. “Their scholarship support reduced so many of my worries so that I could focus on my studies. The people at the organization went above and beyond financial assistance... They paid attention. They cared enough to do what they could to make my undergraduate years as smooth as possible.”

That’s what it means to restore possibility. It’s not just about helping a student afford an education. It’s about showing up, building connections and reminding families that they aren’t navigating an uncertain future alone.

This week is Kids’ Chance Week 2026! Their stories began with hardship. Their futures didn't end there.

When a parent is seriously injured or killed on the job, the impact extends far beyond the workplace. It changes a family's plans, their finances and often a young person's vision for the future.

But those moments don't have to define what comes next.

This Kids' Chance Week, we're putting students at the center of the story. Meet the young people whose resilience, determination and hope remind us why this mission matters. Their stories aren't just about what they've overcome. They're about what becomes possible when they have the opportunity to pursue their education.

Because when workplace tragedy changes a family's future, education can help restore possibility.

Today, Kids’ Chance of America celebrates the teachers who educate, encourage, and inspire young people every day.

For Kids’ Chance scholars—children whose lives have been impacted by a parent’s workplace injury—education can be a powerful pathway to opportunity. Behind every student who keeps moving forward are teachers, mentors, and educators who believe in their potential and help them see what’s possible.

On World Teachers’ Day, we say thank you to the educators who open doors, build confidence, and change lives.

Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom.
