While Princess Caroline has long supported the arts, this represents just one of her philanthropic interests. She's also contributed her passion and leadership to many charitable causes for children, teens, and disabled individuals. According to her official biography for the Prince's Palace of Monaco, in 1981, she founded Jeune J'écoute, an organization that helps troubled youth through a hotline run by trained professionals.
Additionally, the princess is honorary president of the Guides of Monaco — Monaco's version of Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts of America — having taken part herself during childhood. And she's president of Amade Mondiale, an organization her mother founded to help children facing physical and psychological abuse.
Outside of Monaco, Caroline is a patron of Peter Le Marchant Trust, a British boating organization benefiting the disabled. In 2007, she and her brother, Prince Albert, organized a fundraiser generating €2.5 million (approximately $2.6 million) for Nelson Mandela's foundation for underprivileged kids, according to Hello Monaco. Albert is in awe of his older sister's efforts. "What she's done over the years, helping Monaco in various ways, on the cultural and charitable sides," he told People. "She's often the first person on board."
As such, Caroline has been repeatedly recognized over the years — by UNESCO, in 2003, while appointed as Goodwill Ambassador for working to advance girls and women's education; by UNICEF, in 2006, when receiving their Children's Champion Award; and, in 2011, by the Worldwide Association of Children's Friends.
