Kids 1st Foundation

Kids 1st Foundation exposes students to the life-changing power of Historically Black Colleges and Universities through college tours, scholarship support, mentoring, and culturally rooted educational experiences.

Welcome to Kids 1st Foundation

Our work is rooted in a simple belief: when young people are exposed to what is possible, they begin to see what is possible for themselves.

Kids 1st Foundation helps students see college as possible, prepare for the journey, and connect with the people, campuses, and resources that can shape their future.

Through HBCU tours, scholarships, mentoring, college readiness support, student leadership programs, and direct exposure to university life, we create opportunities for students to dream bigger, move with purpose, and take meaningful steps toward higher education.

At the heart of this work are exposure, identity, preparation, and legacy. We do more than take students to campuses. We create experiences that help them see themselves as part of a larger story of educational opportunity, leadership, and generational change.
