– PARENT OF A CITY KIDS ALUM
City Kids Wilderness Project’s mission is to build resiliency, broaden horizons, cultivate community, and develop skills for success in DC youth through a long-term, cohort-based model that utilizes both the wilderness and urban environment to encourage growth. City Kids aims to inspire youth to use their personal power to shape the future of their own lives and change in the greater community.
A world where individuals, communities, and systems evolve to create a bright, inclusive, and just future for all youth. A community of cohesion and allyship where youth have the support they need to develop into confident young adults who are aware of their personal power.
In the past four years, 100% of participants have graduated from high school and enrolled in college, military, vocational training or entered the workforce after completing the City Kids program.
DC graduation rate- 76%.
