Our Interns4Tomorrow program is reaching new heights!

January 4, 2023

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 development and we have two ways you can help:

  1. We are in need of meals once a month for our interns and business coaches (40 people in total). Would you or your community be willing to sponsor a meal?
  2. We’re looking for local business partners to host our interns. If you and your company are interested in learning more, please reach out to us at info@kidz2leaders.org! We’d love to explore the possibility with you.

As always, your prayers for our program participants are deeply appreciated. For our interns, please be praying that:

  • the program would be a blessing to them and their families.
  • this year-long experience would bring growth, clarity, and long-term impact.
  • the relationships between coaches and interns would be transformative and meaningful.
  • the interns will have the endurance to stay full engaged and finish strong!

C2C Beach Trip to Jekyll Island was a GREAT success!

September 13, 2021

We had a beautiful weekend with 19 of our Camper2Counselors at Camp Jekyll this weekend. During our time there, we went seining, enjoyed a dolphin boat tour, played on the beach, and more. We were also taught the “Love Notes” curriculum which focuses on healthy relationship development and how to make wise decisions in our relationships, led by Board Member and volunteer, Thomas Cotton. Overall, it was a great weekend with these campers and we already cannot wait until the next one.

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.

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!"
