Each year, Kid Power helps hundreds of youth succeed academically, empowers them to become engaged leaders and responsible citizens, and fosters healthy living through school gardens. Kid Power operates four interconnected programs that address the academic, social, and health needs facing DC youth. Our programs include comprehensive, innovative, approaches that engage students, resulting in achieved academic proficiency, positive social-emotional growth, and increased civic engagement through evidenced-based strategies such as hands-on instruction, mentorship and small group instruction, school-day alignment, family engagement, and differentiated instruction and preparation for career and life.

Kid Power’s free after-school programs serve approximately 425 youth daily, our 5-week summer programs serve up to 150 students, and our monthly in-school VeggieTime Program serves 1,600 students. We serve youth and their families attending the following District of Columbia Public Schools.
