With an emphasis on mentoring, health, and education, KIND believes that the key to success is getting children inspired and involved. The organization’s after-school program currently serves around 70 students in kindergarten through 12th grade; three times a week, students participate in educational activities related to art, mathematics, music, and science. The goal is to ensure that each student performs at or above grade level in each core subject area.
