Making a difference since 1994.

Our Mission

At Keep Youth Doing Something, Inc. (KYDS), we are committed to closing the opportunity gap for under-served, low-income, and at-risk youth. Through free, enriching programs and impactful services, we empower young people to realize their potential and create brighter futures for themselves and their communities.

For over 30 years, we’ve fostered meaningful connections by partnering with schools, community organizations, local leaders, businesses, and compassionate individuals. Since our founding in 1989 and our designation as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 1994, we have remained dedicated to making a lasting difference in the lives of the youth and families we serve.
