To identify and support student leaders of the Penny Harvest, our flagship program, Common Cents makes over 30,000 penny pins. The pins are designed to generate excitement for the harvest as well as showcase the power of the penny.

Common Cents:

Common Cents New York is dedicated to advancing social justice and equal opportunity by emboldening a generation of young people to become community activists and good citizens during their youth. It was founded in 1991 to promote the Penny Harvest, an annual youth campaign to help homeless people by collecting masses of idle pennies in New York City schools. Over the last decade this highly popular community service has evolved into the Penny Harvest Program -- a versatile, year-long progression of classroom and school-wide service-learning experiences. The Penny Harvest Program creates deep personal and social change by engaging pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade students in the meaningful work of collecting and transforming pennies into dollars, then responsibly allocating their money and time to improve their communities.
