The effects of living in generational poverty far exceed the apparent lack of food, clothing, and adequate housing. The most devastating impact is children growing up believing factors beyond their control determine their current circumstances and futures. With our focus on tutoring, emotional literacy, and mentoring, KidPOWER teaches children that they can hold the POWER to control the outcome of their lives by:
I will work to be the best me I can be.
Personal Growth
​
I am in control of my decisions and aware of the consequences.
Ownership
I like being myself and feel good about who I am.
Worth
​
I am excited to learn new things today!
Education Enrichment
Resilience
I approach obstacles with a positive attitude.

When your mentee tells you, "I am so glad you are my mentor," it changes you. You begin to realize the impact you are making on their lives.

Becoming a mentor, I thought I would be doing all the "giving", but I have received so much more than I could have ever imagined. Mentoring has given me so much joy!

KidPOWER Mentoring is worth the effort. It is worth taking the time out of your schedule to support and learn from students. It's life changing for the mentee and mentor.
