Overview

Mission

At kid power, youth ignite their confidence and build the skills to thrive academically, strengthen their social-emotional wellness, and advocate for themselves and their communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

After-school programming - kid power's after-school programs operates for 3 hours/day monday-friday for 36 weeks. Students participate in daily academic power hour sessions to receive homework help and academic enrichment support; additionally, students participate in a self-led ela intervention, read naturally, on a weekly basis. Classes are taught by kid power's after-school instructors and supported by high school volunteers and college staff, utilizing small group instruction. Curriculum is aligned to the common core standards; however, kid power meets students where they are academically while working to gradually support these grade-level standards. Following the academic power hour, students participate in daily social and emotional learning activities; kp circles. These daily discussions help students develop sel skills such as self-management, self-awareness, social-awareness, responsible decision making, and relationship skills. In addition to daily academic power hour and sel activities, students participate in a variety of innovative and hands-on enrichment activities such as stem, civics, art with a purpose, and veggietime. As an extension of our after-school program, students also engage in a summer acceleration academy (summer leadership academy) for 5 weeks. In the morning, students receive ela and math academic support from after-school instructors and dcps teachers. In the afternoon, youth engage in enrichment activities based on our school-year programs with an emphasis on project-based learning.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
