Kidz Express is a non-profit organization based in Chicago's South Austin neighborhood, dedicated to empowering children and youth through education, mentorship, and youth employment. Their innovative approach involves providing a safe environment where peer mentors, who are young people hired from the community, serve as tutors and role models, guiding children ages 5-14 towards successful outcomes in school and life.
With after-school and summer programs that offer academic support, health and wellness care, athletic and artistic pursuits, Kidz Express aims to unlock the potential within every child in their programs, providing a home-away-from-home that functions like a family.
