What
is Kids House?
A Kids
House is a safe and caring place where
children go when they’re not in school.
Children ages’ 5- 18 can go to Kids
House after school to spend time with
adults who care about them. The
children and adults do homework
together, read play and talk together,
and share a snack or family style meal.
The idea behind Kids house is to give
neighborhood adults a chance to
volunteer with children and to become
like an extended family. We focus on the
well-being and personal development of
our children.
