Real Impact. Lifelong Change.
At A World Fit For Kids, our programs go beyond after-school activities—they’re launching pads for lifelong success. Students don’t just receive academic support or participate in sports; they gain critical life skills, discover hidden talents, and build the confidence to lead.
From learning how to manage emotions to stepping into leadership roles in their schools and communities, our participants walk away with more than memories—they leave with a mindset for growth, purpose, and resilience that will carry them far beyond the classroom.
What People Have to Say About A World Fit For Kids:
I like to be in afterschool because I like to do the sports and compete and I have time to do my homework and I could compete in Robotics.
This program is very important because it has made her (daughter’s) communication skills really good. It has made changes in her class. I like it because I know she’s safe in the school and they do a very good job.
The program is doing an amazing job. I’ve been at Santee since 2006 and this group has been nothing but amazing. Special shout out to Miguel, Coach G, and our director, Vanessa. Everybody does an amazing job.
I like after school because I get to go to Robotics. I enjoy this because I get to build robots and use my imagination to see what I can make with the little robots and, finish my homework, and then play outside after because I’ve already done my homework!
I’m Eva, and I’m a parent here at Norwood. I love the program; I love my daughter attending A World Fit For Kids! She‘s happy; she’s able to do all these sports. Just the staff themselves are amazing. They’re on top of the kids, the kids have a good time in the program, and they tend to always want to stay in the program and stay as long as they can. It’s a great program for the family. They teach sign language, they teach different sports, and they care about the health of the children, which is amazing.
Our grandchildren (4th grade and 2nd grade, respectively) go to this program at MES, and I see all the positive aspects of it. I know the impact that the coaches have on them is very positive. They love the program. They love the hands-on; they get to actually do crafts and bring the parents and grandparents in. I could see the sparkle in their eyes when they showed what they did and explained to them what the process was, and it was very beneficial to the children. The coaches really love the kids!
