About the Organization: New City Kids offers after school programming for local low-income youth. Children and teens get a chance to explore music and academics in a creative and fun environment.

New City Kids aims to draw children into hope by developing in them skills, talents, and desires for their future. By surrounding them with a community of love and development, we strive to set youth on a path of transformation that will carry them forward for the rest of their lives. 99% of New City Kids seniors graduate high school and matriculate into college, as well as are 10x more likely to graduate college than the national average for low income students.
