Ending Generational Incarceration

Kidz2Leaders provides stability, opportunity and a Christian community for children of inmates to break the cycle of incarceration.

Having a parent in prison is listed as one of the top Adverse Childhood Experiences, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Our decade-long continuum of programming guides these children toward a life of self-sufficiency, joy, and success at no cost to their families.

Nearly 200,000 children in Georgia have an incarcerated parent.

Children of inmates are three times more likely to become justice-involved.

Georgia’s prison expenditures total more than $1 billion annually.

Ninety-nine percent of Kidz2Leaders graduates are living free from state or federal incarceration.

In 2019, more than 425 volunteers gave a total of 22,500 volunteer hours to Kidz2Leaders to directly serve 360 children and family members. Since 1999, our programs have impacted more than 1,300 campers, siblings, parents, guardians, and relatives.

Young adults who complete our programs can lead independent lives, avoid incarceration, and contribute back to their communities through leadership and volunteerism.

Our Interns4Tomorrow program is reaching new heights!

Our 2022—2023 Interns4Tomorrow program launched this past November! We are thrilled to share that we have nineteen interns this year, more than ever before. Each intern has been paired with a business coach for mentoring and will go through a year of professional development training leading up to this summer, when when they'll receive a professional wardrobe and a three-week paid internship with a local business. We're so excited for our interns to embark on this year of growth and … Read More about Our Interns4Tomorrow program is reaching new heights!

Have you heard about Mentors4Hope? It’s a ment Have you heard about Mentors4Hope? 

It’s a mentorship program offered through Kidz2Leaders Family Support!

It’s been proven that mentoring relationships are a key part of a healthy supportive community, and help kids build resilience and other life skills! 

Recently, two of our mentors had the opportunity to take their mentees to a Hawks game! Dan has been mentoring since 2004 and says, “I’ve always loved working with kids, even before I had kids of my own. Mentoring has really driven home for me that it brings more joy to give than to receive.”

If you are a K2L family and would like your child to be paired with a mentor, OR if you would like to learn more about becoming a mentor, reach out to Lana, our Student Support Manager, at Lana.Trull@kidz2leaders.org.

This past weekend was Hope4Christmas, our annual c This past weekend was Hope4Christmas, our annual celebration of our Savior's birth—and what a celebration it was! 

Relationship is one of the defining characteristics of our programs, and we enjoyed such a wonderful time of connection of with our K2L families. We heard exclamations of: "It's you!" "You're here!" and "I missed you!" as campers saw their counselors and friends reconnected. Getting to be together was truly a gift!
