Another is BJ from Ohio\u2014he started at seven years old and now runs his own business with a little bus and a few employees. He still mows free lawns, too.

The 50 Yard Challenge asks kids to mow 50 free lawns for the elderly, disabled, single parents, or veterans. We also count raking leaves and snow shoveling. To join, kids make a sign that says \u201cI accept the 50 Yard Challenge,\u201d and we send them a white Raising Men or Raising Women t-shirt, safety glasses, and ear protection. It\u2019s set up like a karate belt system\u2014every 10 lawns, they earn a new shirt: orange for 10, green for 20, blue for 30, red for 40, and black for 50. When they complete 50 lawns, we give them a brand-new mower, weed eater, and blower. Zoe Fisher: That\u2019s incredible. How many youths have participated so far? Rodney Smith: Over 5,000 kids across the country have signed up for the 50 Yard Challenge. Zoe Fisher: That\u2019s so inspiring. How has this impacted the kids and the people they help? Rodney Smith: It\u2019s been a huge impact. These kids are stepping up to help people in their communities\u2014especially the elderly and disabled who are on fixed incomes. When a kid mows their lawn for free, they can use their money for essentials like food or medication. It\u2019s a win-win for everyone. &#8220;Make sure you&#8217;re doing something that you love, and if you&#8217;re really passionate about it, your work will speak for itself. And when someone really cares about your job or your mission, you can tell just by the way they carry themselves and the multi effort they put into what they do.&#8221; Rodney Smith, Founder Zoe Fisher: What do you hope young people take away from the program? Rodney Smith: I hope they take pride in knowing they\u2019re making a difference. That one simple act of kindness can ripple outward. That\u2019s what I want them to remember. Zoe Fisher: How do you instill values like kindness and responsibility in your program? Rodney Smith: I lead by example. I still mow free lawns here in Huntsville, Alabama. I want kids to see me doing it. It\u2019s about stepping up for those in need.
