K.I.D.S. offers youth, which have already been identified as at-risk, an opportunity to work with caring teachers/mentors/volunteers to improve their ability to develop a positive attitude towards themselves and their future. The long-term goal of K.I.D.S. is to empower the young person to stop the self destructive patterns and break the habits that are leading to low self-esteem, doubt, hopelessness that equates into trouble in home, school and in the community.

A Day of Journey with Personal GPS/Maps to Dreams: Program designed to expose youth to a wide variety of professional and career opportunities through a diverse blend of hands on internship opportunities locally and nationally. This program exposes students to a world of other opportunities that are available to them in their cities as well as the world such as: new environments (new cities and states) through internships along with college tours, new cultures (opportunities to travel), ability to begin building their professional network from a young age. Specifically, this program combines the central components of many fundamental programs (Ex. mentoring, career development, college/university planning, and travel) in order to create a unique learning experience for students.
