Most organizations talk about empowering children. Time4Sharing Mission I’M Possible Corp has spent more than 25 years actually doing it, one volunteer-powered event at a time.
The registered nonprofit has reached over 17,500 underserved children across the globe—not through impersonal aid drops or check-writing campaigns, but through what it calls Mission I’M Possible Events. These are community gatherings designed to give children something often more scarce than material resources: the feeling that they matter.
What started as a local initiative has expanded from Lebanon into Dubai, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, the Philippines, Ghana, Thailand, India, and the United States. The organization’s signature Mission: I’M Possible Fun Days bring volunteers face-to-face with children and families, creating moments that the nonprofit describes as “transformative experiences” grounded in joy and connection.
Beyond the Event
The model is deliberately personal. Rather than scaling through institutional partnerships alone, Mission : I’M Possible relies on what it calls a “people-powered approach”—mobilizing individuals who show up, engage directly, and help children feel seen. The goal isn’t just to provide a fun afternoon, but to plant something deeper: the belief that circumstances don’t define potential. The deeper message is in the mantra, I’M Possible , reminding kids who need it most that possibilities exist within.
To extend that message beyond event days, the organization has published a collection of inspirational books available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The publications focus on Boomer the Kangaroo , the mascot of the charity to teach emotional resilience and compassion-driven outcomes with proceeds supporting the nonprofit’s outreach work. ‘The I’M Possible Adventures of Boomer the Kangaroo’ and ‘Boomer Saves the Night’ are life lessons to teach children how to face fear, bullies, even cancer using the Mission I’M Possible secret formula. It’s a dual-purpose strategy: spread the mission’s message while funding the next round of outreach country events.
Building a Global Network
Mission: I’M Possible Time 4 Sharing expansion hasn’t followed a typical nonprofit trajectory. There’s little mention of corporate sponsorships . Instead, the organization has grown its reach through word-of-mouth volunteer recruitment and social media presence on Facebook and Instagram. Supporters can contribute by purchasing books, donating directly, or joining volunteer-led community events in their own regions.
Coach M J Tolan, a two time cancer survivor and co-founder, pointed much more of the advocacy toward supporting kids battling cancer in the past few years.
The organization is transparent about its ambitions. It wants to bring I’M Possible Fun Days to more country communities and deepen its impact through strategic partnerships. The focus remains on emotional well-being and confidence-building—areas that don’t always attract the same funding as more measurable outcomes, but which the nonprofit insists are foundational. New chapters in Ghana, Kenya and Sri Lanka this year are launching fun reading programs within each event to also boost confidence and literacy.
What Comes Next
As Mission I:M Possible looks ahead, it’s planning to expand both its event programming and its storytelling initiatives. The aim is to create what the organization describes as a “ripple effect”—where a single day’s interaction reinforces a child’s sense of belonging and possibility long after volunteers have left.
For those interested in supporting the mission, the nonprofit accepts donations and welcomes new volunteers through its website. Those looking to learn more about the philosophy behind the work can explore the organization’s inspirational books and outreach initiatives or reach out directly via email at [email protected].
It’s a simple premise with a complex execution: show up, connect, and help kids believe they’re possible. Twenty-five years in, Time4Sharing Mission:I’M Possible Events are still serving up fun for kids that matter.
