About Us
We started Kids Next Door because we saw gaps in exposure, mentorship, and support for students in underserved communities compared to their peers. These gaps directly impact graduation rates, access to higher education, and ultimately entry into competitive industries—limiting opportunities for long-term economic mobility.
Our mission is simple: connect every student with the mentors, resources, and real-world opportunities they need to succeed academically, professionally, and personally.
