All About the Kids Iowa

All About the Kids Iowa Des Moines, Iowa based 501c3 non-profit organization All About the Kids was founded in 2010 by Founder & Executive Director, Lou Parks.

In 2021, All About the Kids obtained its formal 501c3 non-profit status that’s mission is to create diverse programs that empower high-risk youth by focusing on their strengths, skills and self-esteem and assisting them to becoming valued members of their communities. All About the Kids mission fuels the organization’s commitment to promoting a safe, positive and inclusive environment for all of m

embers. We work largely with populations at high risk for violence, incarceration, substance abuse, and poor academic performance. Programs are specifically tailored to meet the needs of these youth and young adults, connect with and support them and focus on their individual personal development through one-on-one mentoring and building relationships into the future. We believe the success of our youth requires strong, connected families and communities.

All About the Kids has been on the move this Summer all the way until now. From partnering with Youthful Generations to do our first summer camp at the Lucille Community Center to having our first Annual End of Summer party. We had key people stop by to chat with our kiddos like Mayor Connie Boesen to the Superintendent of Schools for Des Moines. Trust they were ready for the questions our campers had. We worked with our youth on key skills they need to be successful. We were moving and grooving in the community as well getting to know our community. We have more to come Stay Tune!!
