Kids on the Move for Success After School Program

Please join me in making a life-changing difference in the opportunities available to homeless, foster, and low-income children.  These students range from 1st to 8th grade. Please help me create a brighter future and a sense of family for them.

Our organization, Kids on the Move for Success has had the opportunity to serve over 300 low-income families since 2016 and we want to continue supporting our families with your help. Our goal for 2020 - 2021 is to support our families during this pandemic with hiring certified educators to help increase the student’s reading and math scores before and during standardized testing. We also want to bring in tools, speakers, and programs to support our parents in our Parent Academy during this time of technology challenges and trying to home school their children.

In Georgia alone, our number of students have increased in three categories of homeless, foster, and low-income communities. There are hundreds of children attending school in these categories that need support every day; coming together as a Village we can support them. Through our support in literacy (Reading and Math), we can improve the literacy for this population.

Our programs will be virtual so we can reach more students globally to support families no matter where they may live.

After working closely with these students for several years, and being one myself in the past, I know that a stronger vocabulary will powerfully elevate their opportunities. We know that providing education for parents/guardians is also key. This is why we implemented our Parent Academy to support them. Many of the parents/guardians lack the background and resources to encourage their children. Through your financial support you can help us provide these resources to our motivated parents/guardians.

With your donations, we will be able to hire Executive Director, six certified educators, four program presenters, four interns, and increase our programs for the Parent Academy. In addition, we will be able to transition the program to a virtual learning platform for four days a week. Below is an explanation of the costs for this next semester to impact our students.

• One Executive Director:  $6,000
• Six Academic Specialist: $21,600
• Four Program Presenters: $4,500
