RESILIENT KIDS

---

The Resilient Kids after school and summer program builds hope and resilience in grade school students. Kids who have experienced trauma face increased learning and behavioral challenges, so they benefit from environments that are highly-relational and trauma-responsive. 

At Resilient Kids, we help kids develop problem-solving skills, relational skills, and social connections, and we involve them in positive activities that protect them from the impact of adverse childhood experiences. Relationships build resilience so getAHEAD intentionally fosters family involvement, positive peer connections, relationships with caring, trusted adults, and opportunities to get to know Jesus. 

We want to see the whole student grow so every day our students are:

• Welcomed by a team of warm smiles into a safe and supportive environment
• Offered health conscious snacks
• Taught interactive Bible lessons
• Given a voice in choosing their educational activities
• Helped by caring adults with their reading and school work
• Provided opportunities for art and outdoor activity
• Celebrated and treated with respect
