01 / OUR WHY
Not another program.
A community that sees him.
Black boys deserve environments that recognize their strengths, protect their childhood, and connect today’s effort to tomorrow’s possibilities.
KINSHIP brings learning, wellness, mentorship, recreation, and practical care together in one trusted place. Because opportunity should feel close. And no young person should have to navigate his future alone.

The vision, program model, and planning assumptions behind KINSHIP.Open partnership briefA FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Good questions.
A shared starting point.
Who is KINSHIP for?
KINSHIP is designed for Black boys in grades 6 through 8, approximately ages 11–14, in communities with limited access to connected out-of-school supports.
Is there a cost for families?
No. The KINSHIP model is designed to keep participation free for families through school partnerships, eligible reimbursements, public support, corporate sponsorships, and philanthropy.
Is the first Hub open yet?
Not yet. KINSHIP is in the planning and partnership-building stage. Site selection, launch timing, and enrollment details will be shared as the first Hub takes shape.
How can organizations get involved?
We are seeking school, clinical, corporate, community, and development partners, along with mission-aligned funding. Explore the partnership brief for the full vision and planning assumptions.
