TAKING CARE OF THE LITTLE THINGS
So the big things can take care of themselves.
What is One Small Chance?
A small act of kindness can change the entire course of a child's life.
One Small Chance is a student-led nonprofit founded in Hanover County, Virginia, dedicated to helping disadvantaged youth succeed. We started with a simple mission: make sure no student goes without the school supplies, mentorship, and athletic support they need to thrive.
What began as a small idea has grown into a movement—entirely volunteer-run, youth-driven, and powered by people who believe every child deserves a chance.
How your gift helps →"This was never just about books or backpacks. It's about making sure a child knows that someone believes in them." — Chance Archer, CEO, Executive Director & Founder
All donations directly support students in need. Your generosity helps provide school supplies, mentorship, and athletic opportunities to underprivileged youth. (These donations are tax-deductible.)
