Who We Are

Change for Kids is a youth development organization that creates opportunities for kids so they can overcome inequity.

Our vision is for all kids to be empowered to pursue and achieve their dreams. But first, they need a fair chance to succeed.

Success is too often dictated by the zip code in which you live or the color of your skin, not your potential.

CFK believes all kids deserve a chance to be who they want to be - now and in the future.

That’s why we create opportunities for young people to develop the skills, connections, and self and social awareness necessary to achieve the future of their dreams and overcome inequity.
