What makes us different?
No GPA or prerequisite required.
We invite youth and young adults all academic levels & abilities are welcome; however, we intentionally cater towards first-gen, low-income, students of color
Our Music program takes a whole-person, youth led approach.
This approach it allows us to create pathways for academic enrichment and a sense of belonging all while building community.
Kid City is a free and safe “third space”
If you can’t find it at home, and you can’t find it at school. you can find it here.

“Kid City gave me something deeper, a place where I could be real, vulnerable, and be accepted exactly as I am. Here, I found a community that listens, understands, and pushes you to grow not just academically, but as a human being. Something school couldn't show me but Kid City did”
