New City Kids
Since 2009, 100% of high school seniors employed by New City Kids have graduated high school, 99% have gone to college, and 90% complete college by age 25 - 10x the national average for low-income youth. Youth from 1st-12th grade are immersed in an academic and artistic environment 5 days a week at our after school centers. Our vision is to walk with a child from age six to age nineteen and be an advocate, family, teacher and mentor to that child. We strive to set these children on a path of life transformation that will carry them forward for the rest of their lives. New City Kids has a national vision with a powerful local impact, currently serving alongside over 500 youth a day in three cities: Jersey City, NJ, Paterson, NJ, and Grand Rapids, MI.
