THE SYSTEM FAILS THEM.
WE LIFT THEM UP.
Since 2017
Central Ohio’s only organization dedicated expressly to making a difference today for kids who age out of our broken Foster Care system and low income teens.
Your donation supports the needs and dreams of youth in your community.
The Mirth Project is a non-profit organization working to inspire and support low income teens and former foster youth in pursuit of realizing their goals, dreams and passions by not only supplying what they wish for but also what they need to dream big.
Since 2017, our community, thanks to generous donations, has impacted hundreds of teenagers in need. From your heart to theirs, the Mirth Project is dedicated to lifting spirits and changing lives.
NO SAFETY NET
The experience you can’t unknow.
Ideal for corporate team building or church groups the No Safety Net Experience will help your group feel what it’s like to live without what most of us take for granted.
Your journey will include:
Walking in the shoes of a former foster youth, experiencing real world challenges, opportunities and set backs
Making decisions under pressure with limited resources and information (just like they do)
Navigating real world problems such as childcare conflicts, unexpected bills, and transportation gaps

Messages from our kids and caregivers.
“I knew I couldn’t afford presents but I was hoping to be able to piece together a Christmas Dinner. Then I found out about The Mirth Project and suddenly I didn’t have to worry about disappointing my children again. Our Christmas was better than I ever could have imagined.”
“The Mirth Project is more than a blessing. Among the gifts my teens received were their own towels/rags with body washes. To some that doesn’t seem like a lot but to those of us that are less fortunate that share a towel and share body wash it meant a lot to have something they could call their own.”
“When he opened his Christmas presents to find what he was wishing for I could see his eyes fill with joy, he was so happy. He received an electric guitar and plays with the High School band and wears his dress shoes for playing violin with the Orchestra. We have no words but we are so grateful to all of you for making all this possible. ”
