About Us
Our Mission
The Provision of robust programs and activities for students seeking to attend college. Kids 1st Foundation provides mentoring activities, college application assistance, scholarships, grant information, academic resources, and college tours. Kids 1st Foundation’s vision is to reveal the power of education by helping youth meet their highest potential and enhance their quality of life.
College Tours
Tours to Historically Black Colleges and Universities are generally conducted twice a year, in the fall and spring. The students are educated on the value of these colleges and universities by extolling the accomplishments of previous graduates and experiencing the unique culture and history of the university while interacting with professors.
Academic Resources Assistance Program
This program is to assist students who plan to attend college by providing information and assistance with college applications, scholarship opportunities, resume building, and selection of appropriate classes and degrees.
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.
