Vision: A world where every child has a safe and loving home
Mission: When circumstances prevent a child from remaining with their family, Simply Smiles Children’s Villages provide a safe and loving home where children receive all they need and deserve to reach their brightest future.
Simply Smiles, Inc is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization whose children’s village model is redefining how society’s most vulnerable children are cared for. Simply Smiles recognizes the strength that is born from overcoming adversity, and it nurtures children to become adults who are driven and prepared to fulfill their dreams and to help better society—for us all.

Volunteer information
On-the-ground volunteer efforts were instrumental in getting us to where we are now and formed a cornerstone for what we have built in Mexico and on the Reservation. But, based on our current program needs, it is unlikely that we’ll offer volunteer opportunities anytime soon. As Simply Smiles expands and our needs change, we look forward to exploring how we can implement and provide meaningful volunteer opportunities again.
If you are interested in joining the thousands of amazing people who have volunteered with Simply Smiles, we encourage you to to sign up for Volunteer Updates below and you’ll be the first to know when/if Simply Smiles volunteer experiences become available again. Thank you! Learn more and sign up for our volunteer updates.

An important note about confidentiality and privacy: We do not post photos of the children
Throughout our website (and on social media), we do not share photos or other identity-revealing details of the children currently or previously in our care at Simply Smiles Children’s Villages.
This is to protect the children’s privacy, safety, and dignity.
While we are proud of how we provide for and nurture the children, what is posted online exists forever online. Simply Smiles has therefore adopted policies designed to protect the children from any immediate or future stigma that may be associated with receiving support from a child welfare program.
While posting photos of the children may help Simply Smiles to generate support for our work, the health, happiness, and success of the children is our priority.
Policy adopted January 1, 2022
