About Us

Who We Are

KidzAmerica is dedicated to empowering and involving our young people as catalysts in building lasting change through sustainable communities, locally, nationally, and internationally.
KidzAmerica is committed to bringing its comprehensive and customized youth-centered community model to schools, communities, and cities across this great nation.

We believe that we have developed a adaptable model which demonstrates how all the neighborhood’s stakeholders: parents, school representatives, churches, social service agencies, the police, health care providers and the business community can be a part of an on-going process that not only centers around youth, but actually makes them the central part of a process aimed at coordinating the efforts and resources within the community to address their needs!

Our Mission

To build a comprehensive and integrated model for organizing and empowering youth 
to be self-directed learners and contributors to society. 
We will increase their participation as resources, leaders and problem-solvers in building community unity. 
Dynamic relationships and partnerships will be developed between youth and adults and across the community.

Our Vision

To be a champion for our young people and be a catalyst for systemic change in our schools, communities, and cities
through a dynamic process that empowers youth and adults to become leaders in their
own lives, and partners in service to their own communities.

Our Philosophy

Kidzamerica believes that at the core of most of our social problems is a sense of disconnection with our youth and communities. That is why we have chosen to focus on empowering and connecting our young people to a powerful purpose in their own lives and in service to their communities.

If our nation is going to continue to provide positive influence on world affairs, we must teach our children about a different world and to appreciate the importance of their own assumption of leadership on the world stage. We cannot return to "business as usual." Our young people will be the major players in our future, and must be included in any vision of how to build that future. Let our children become the ambassadors for making a better world. So, not only can such an environment be created, it must be created now more than ever. We consider this effort to be the job of the entire community. We believe that it can happen one community at a time.
