KI-USA exists to promote self empowerment in New York City-area youth leaders between the ages of 18 and 25. We’re building a network of youth leaders who demonstrate hard work, perseverance, global sensitivity and positive attitudes to reach new heights personally, professionally and within their communities. KI-USA’s signature event is the annual ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain
on the African continent and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. Each year, we train a small group of youth participants and then accompany them on this life-changing climb. For most of our youth leaders, it’s their first trip outside of their home country. For all, an opportunity of a lifetime.
