The mission of Developing K.I.D.S. is to provide best-in-class programming to strengthen urban communities by developing intergenerational youth leaders, driving academic enrichment, instilling civic engagement and providing opportunities for youth to become strong contributors in their community. Developing Kingdoms In Different Stages (Developing K.I.D.S.) is a non-profit organization that services its community through three servicing areas: Prevention, Family Management, and Community Support. All programs and services are provided at NO COST to participants. Developing K.I.D.S. strongly depends on the generous donations, grants and volunteer support from individuals, members of the community, foundations, corporations and organizations to ensure that an alternative to high-risk behavior is provided without financial obstacles deterring families from participating.
