The future of kidz2leaders®, inc.
Our short-term goal is to expand our programs to other states.
Our medium-range plan is to build our own facility where we can
expand our "life skills" program to custodial parents.
We intend to continue our scholarship program for campers who want
to attend college or a technical school. Through the generous gifts
of time and talents by our volunteers and tax deductible donations,
we plan to give fun, hope and a future to these kids for many years
to come!
Our overall goal is to put into motion, through intentional and
interactive programming, avenues through which these children learn
how to become leaders and how to take control of their situations.
We believe this begins at the 4th grade level.
