Our Mission

Uplifting Kids, Inc. is currently a 501c Nonprofit Organization.

Uplifting Kids,Inc.’s mission is to keep kids off the streets and uplift them when they are going through rough times in life whether it is drugs, gangs, crime, troubled homes, or issues with their lives. This organization is being created to provide a boys and girls club where the youth can do activities together and stay away from negative situations. We will have various activities that give youth and their families something to look forward to and keep them positive rather than negative. Our main focus is to put a smile on their face, give them something positive to look forward to, and keep them from committing crimes or other negative behavior.

Our Goal

Many youth in the Arizona area become involved with negative situations such as drugs, gangs, or crime because they do not have positive activities to participate in. Due to grades and school attendance they are not eligible to participate in school sports programs and after school activities so they are left to their own devices. Uplifting Kids wants to change this by giving youth opportunities for positive activities such as field trips, camping, and participating in movie nights, sports, and community events. We also want to have social nights where youth can discuss with their peers and parents the day to day problems they are facing. We believe it is important to bring the community together through events that foster a greater sense of community and togetherness.

Our Program

Our services will be built around activities and programs for kids and parents who want to be involved. Through our activities we want to bring families back together and keep this a crime free organization and community. The activities will be conducted out of community locations. Uplifting Kids, Inc. will have a target market of youth ages 4 to 18.

We believe that social and recreational activities are very important to the development of youth. As we grow we will implement sporting activities such as football, basketball, soccer, track, and volleyball for youth. These activities are especially important for youth who cannot participate in school sports because they cannot meet the school’s criteria and pay the required fees. The youth involved the sports programs will pay little to no fees depending upon our level of funding.

Many of today’s youth are very creative but have no outlet for that creativity. Uplifting Kids wants to help them express their creativity by offering drawing, painting, and other art activities. These activities will be held primarily afterschool and on the weekends during the school year and possibly during the day when school is out. We will have certain days of the week that will be in a calendar of activities given to each participating youth and parent where we are offering the art activities.

Uplifting Kids offer programs where when youth are on school breaks we take the kids camping and on field trips. Many of these youth never see nature or communities outside of their neighborhoods. The camping trips will help youth learn about nature and see it for all its glory. The field trips we take youth on may include museums, plays, movies, or another type of community or cultural event. We want to broaden the horizons of area youth by introducing them to subjects and situations they may be unfamiliar with.
