Kids Need a Voice
From bullying and gang violence to substance abuse, children face significant challenges. Team Kids helps youth navigate these obstacles by connecting them to peers and positive role models, and empowering them to become community changemakers.
By improving how youth view themselves and how community leaders view youth, Team Kids enables children to cultivate self-esteem and avoid high-risk behaviors like drinking, drugs, and violence.
