Kids University

Success starts here: After-School Tutoring, Summer Enrichment Camp, Family and Community Services, and Kids-U Lite programming for the children of the DFW area.

Kids University builds relationships in the DFW area with local schools, churches, communities, and partnering organizations to provide children from Kindergarten to 8th grade with after-school tutoring that aligns with Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and our PATHWAYS Curriculum. Our summer enrichment camps offer activities including STEM, reading, art, music, health, and exercise which allows kids to become independent and self-confident while socializing and learning new skills. Our Family and Community Engagement program offers services to our students and their family members, as well as the community members with resources to improve their lives.

Our vision of the future:

- every child has access to educational opportunities and resources to foster success

- every parent in feels supported, encouraged, and celebrated

- every volunteer feels the joy of helping the children succeed while on their educational pathways to obtaining a diploma

- every Kids University program succeeds in alleviating the obstacles to form well-rounded, successful children

OUR NTXGD CAMPAIGN IS FOCUSED ON MEETING THE NEEDS IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS:

Obtain vans for our Kids University sites! Our students love field trips and we want to give them the opportunity to experience these outings. At the moment, transportation is highly costly and renting transportation is not applicable in our budget.

Add additional sites to continue to address the obstacles of learning loss and academic success by offering a whole child approach addressing four major areas: the individual student, the school, the family, and the community.  By focusing on the whole child approach, we are on path to closing the achievement gap between under-resourced and resourced students living in the DFW area.
