Happy Black History Month!

Kids Above All believes that all children, no matter what they look like or where they come from, deserve the same opportunity to realize their full potential.

Honoring a child's community, culture, and heritage is important in achieving this goal, and our team works hard to make sure every child in our program has the support they need to confidently build their identity. Through Early Childhood Education, Safe, Supportive Housing, and Trauma-Informed Counseling, our team provides the resources and guidance our children need to answer any questions they may have and to grow into independent adults.

Stay tuned to see all the events Kids Above All will be hosting this month to celebrate and highlight Black American History!

Kids Above All's Camp Sheilah families had so much fun this past weekend jumping and playing at 2 Hours of Freedom! Everyone had a chance to eat, play, and connect with staff and one another during the program's quarterly retreat.

We hope everyone had a great time, and we can't wait to see you all again at our next activity!

Today, we carry these principles throughout our work in Early Childhood Education, Safe, Supportive Housing, and Trauma-Informed Counseling. Learn more about how we step up for children and families at kidsaboveall.org.

“True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.

Today, Kids Above All would like to take the time to recognize Martin Luther King Jr.'s activism, his impact in the Civil Rights Movement, and his current influence. We hold his teachings close as we work with different communities to make sure that every child and family impacted by poverty, violence, and injustice have the resources and support they need to build a better life.

At Kids Above All, we believe that all children, no matter what they look like or where they come from, deserve the same opportunity to realize their full potential. Visit kidsaboveall.org to learn more about our different programs, our impact, and how you can get involved in supporting our mission.

January is National Mentoring Month.

Kids Above All would like to thank the mentors who strive to help others reach their full potential, including those in our Becoming Me program and the Big Buddies in our Camp Sheilah program.

Becoming Me helps young people ages 10-18 on Chicago’s South and West Sides, who have been victims of violence, or are at risk of violence, obtain the necessary resources to set and achieve their goals in life. Camp Sheilah provides mental health support to youth ages 7-17 who have lost a parent, guardian or sibling to homicide.

Thank you to all of our mentors for providing a support system to our kids and families so that they can heal and build a better life.

If you're interested in getting involved in our mission of building better lives for kids and families, visit www.kidsaboveall.org/volunteer to learn more.
