The mission of KidWorks is to restore at-risk neighborhoods one life at a time. The Organization builds on the strengths and potential in the community through education, character formation, and personal development. The goals of KidWorks are to 1) be a model of community transformation by building on existing community assets; 2) be a safe haven for youth and families; and 3) be a place for learning, nurturing, and leadership development. KidWorks regularly collaborates with other organizations to make the programs as robust as possible.
