MORE THAN SNEAKERS

Welcome to Kicks for Kids

 

We don’t give just any old shoes to kids. (In fact, we never give out previously owned shoes.) All of our Kicks For Kids participants choose their own Brand-new sneakers through our partnership with NIKE FACTORY COMMUNITY STORES. Participants can visit any Community store and a NIKE team member will provide them with concierge treatment which consist of properly measuring their feet and helping them in picking out a pair of sneakers of their choice. In addition, every Kicks for Kids participant is afforded the opportunity to enroll into a spectrum of educational programs and activities including but not limited to STEM, tech, sports, tutoring, summer and/or after school programs at no cost via our partnerships with other nonprofit educational and resource programs.


Whether you want to donate money, shoes or time, changing the life of a child really is as simple as a new pair of shoes. 

If your passionate about what we're doing? Let us know! We are always looking for Corporations, Individuals, and Groups to help us make our vision a reality. We're excited to have you join the team!

OUR MISSION & VISION

How We're Helping

 

Kicks-for-Kicks is an innovative and transformative non-profit 501(c)(3) Youth and Family Service Organization established in 2015 to gift Brand-New Sneakers to Children from Low-income and poverty-stricken households who participate in educational programs (anti-bulling, tutorial, enrichment). 

Due to economic circumstances (unemployment, housing, energy, food, etc.)  many families struggle and cannot afford to purchase their child/ren something so essential and important as a pair of shoes for school. Kicks for Kids wants every child to have confidence, enjoy their school experience, fulfill their k-12 physical and academic potential, attend college, and become productive, self-sufficient adults. 

Studies have shown that the lack of adequate proper fitting sneakers that children wear can be a disadvantage to them and a visible sign of poverty that creates a negative impact to their peer-acceptance and academic/ physical performance. Children who wear worn out or ill-fitting off-brand sneakers are often ignored, teased, bullied, and even victimized, in schools and on the playground. Studies show that children who experience these circumstances develop frustration, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and violence. Consequently, studies also show that proper fitting sneakers can have a positive impact on the lives of many children’s peer-acceptance and overall physical and academic performance. 

Through a partnership between KICKS FOR KIDS and the NIKE FACTORY COMMUNITY STORES our participants can visit any participating store and a NIKE team member will provide them with concierge treatment which consist of properly measuring their feet and helping to pick out a pair of sneakers of their choice. In addition, our participants are enrolled into a spectrum of educational and sports programs at no cost via our partnerships with other nonprofit educational and resource programs. 

The Kicks For Kids Experience!

 Kicks for Kids aims to change the lives of children in need through our sneaker and educational programs. Our Mission is to help underprivileged youth by gifting brand-new pairs of proper fitting sneakers to attend school or play sports. Our organization acknowledges that by providing children with basic essentials, it in turn facilitates a feeling of dignity which empowers participants and enables them to be more receptive to learning, socializing, playing and ultimately thriving. Some of our other primary goals are to prevent bullying, improve classroom attendance, raise self-esteem, increase physical activities and decrease behavioral issues that are prevalent amongst most children in need.
