Welcome! 

Parents are a core part of the City Kids community and we are so excited to get to know you & your child through the application process!

Our staff work in partnership with parents throughout the City Kids journey to ensure your child has fun, feels supported, builds community and learns & grows. You can expect to hear from City Kids staff via email, phone calls and texts throughout the school year & summer.

We imagine you have lots of questions about our program – the best place to start is attending one of our info sessions – the link to sign up will be posted shortly!

City Kids has compiled a comprehensive Parent Handbook, which can be use as a reference to answer many of your questions as well. You can review the 2024 Ranger Parent Handbook here.

Parents of accepted Rangers will receive an updated 2025 Handbook in the late spring.

If you have questions or you’d like to speak with a City Kids staff member or talk with a parent of a current City Kids participant or alumni, please email our DC Program Director, Taylore Willis, at taylore@citykidsdc.org.
