About Us
How We Deliver
Our Vision
Our vision is for every student we serve to see college as possible, prepare with confidence, and move toward a future shaped by education, opportunity, and purpose.
College Tours
Our HBCU college tours are immersive campus experiences that help students see themselves in college and understand the culture, legacy, and opportunities unique to HBCUs. Through guided visits and direct conversations with faculty and current students, students gain a real look at academics and campus life. Each tour includes pre-tour preparation and post-tour follow-up, so students leave with clarity, confidence, and a concrete set of next steps.
MAKING MOVES INSTITUTE FOR HBCU ACCESS
Year-Round College Access and Student Readiness
The Making Moves Institute for HBCU Access is Kids 1st Foundation’s year-round pathway that helps students move from college interest to preparation, application, enrollment, and transition.
Through college readiness sessions, HBCU tours, scholarship preparation, mentoring, financial aid guidance, leadership development, and direct exposure to university life, the Institute helps students turn exposure into action.
Parent Engagement
Parents are the most important partners for their youth. We seek to aid parents with their parental challenges by providing appropriate support for the ultimate goal of raising successful students. Race, income, and language are not barriers if parents are engaged and supported. Regardless of race, income, or language barriers, the benefits of parental and community involvement for students include: higher grade point averages, higher scores on standardized tests, improved school attendance, improved social skills and increases success at school.
