Mission
KIDZ2LEADERS EXISTS TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF INCARCERATION BY PROVIDING STABILITY, OPPORTUNITY AND A CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY FOR CHILDREN OF INMATES. WE ACCOMPLISH THIS BY HELPING THEM RISE ABOVE THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES, ENPOWERING THEM TO BECOME LEADERS AND PROVIDING A LIFE OF HOPE THROUGH INTENTIONAL, FAITH-BASED PROGRAMMING IN A LOVING ENVIRONMENT. OUR 10-YEAR PROGRAM CONTINUUM IS DESIGNED TO CULTIVATE LONG-TERM, SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS, BEGINNING WITH CHILDREN AT AGE EIGHT AND SERVING THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH YOUNG ADULTHOOD. WE BELIEVE IT IS ONLY THROUGH THIS LONG-TERM COMMITMENT THAT WE CAN TRULY END GENERATIONAL INCARCERATION. YOUNG ADULTS WHO COMPLETE OUR DECADE OF PROGRAMMING ARE ON A TRAJECTORY TOWARD LIVING THEIR LIVES FREE FROM INCARCERATION AND CONTRIBUTING POSITIVELY TO THEIR COMMUNITIES. PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED AT NO CHARGE TO OUR PARTICIPANTS.
