KIDS 24-7

Description

Kids 24/7 is a child development organization providing kids with educational, social, emotional and spiritual life skills in small group and through long-term mentoring relationships since 2015. We collaborate with individuals and groups in the community to increase awareness of kids' potential and to support their success by giving kidstools of grit, resilience,and a growth mindset where kids understand that their abilities can be developed so they can learn to live more productive and healthier lives. Being a mentor in our program changes the trajectory of kids living through divorce or family separation due to death, incarceration, foster or deployment by giving them hope.

Our after school coaching program is called the High 5 Tribe because research says that bonds with other people can become causes for happiness. Supportive social networks can act as buffers against the feeling of loneliness. Being connected to others can be a protective factor in life. A sense of belonging to peers and teachers can positively affect academic performance and the High 5 Tribe gives kids a place to belong, build relationships with trusted adults, add countless new opportunities, explore interests and fun activities.
