KIND PROGRAM

We are the staff and associates of the Kids In New Directions (KIND) Program.

KIND was founded in 1987. KIND provides the community's disadvantaged children ages 4-17 with a safe place to participate and promote positive interactions through structured activities, field trips, tutoring, nutritious meals, guidance, mentoring and friendship from our caring and dedicated staff and volunteers.

Many of these children become trapped in their immediate neighborhood, not realizing the world that awaits them. The KIND program strives to improve literacy skills, instills self-esteem, and stimulates mental and emotional development.

In addition, we offer guidance and counseling for the children of the low-income families and in many cases single parent homes within our communities.

We offer an After School Program for ages 4-17 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We strive to make sure that each and every child knows that they are cared about, and we provide a positive Christian influence in their lives.

We offer assistance with school homework, art, and computer training. The kids also participate in interactive activities and conclude the days activities with a family-style nutritious meal.

Our Summer program is extensive in all of the above areas mentioned.
