About Kids Corp

Kids Corporation is a direct provider of academic and healthcare programs in Newark, NJ, and a conduit for the distribution of free educational resources to other non-profits for youth in Newark.

We reach over 4,000 children annually through our own summer and after-school programs as well as those of our Partner Programs: 50+ community and faith based organizations and schools throughout Newark. While children are our primary focus, we believe that assisting local groups uplifts the entire community. Through our unique combination of after-school, school-day and summer programs, children develop literacy, motivation for learning, a love of nature, and hope for their future.

We have locations across the city as well as Kids Camp, a 125-acre environmental learning center and health facility in Warren County where children discover nature and learn the values of sharing and caring for others as well as themselves. In addition to our summer and after-school programs, we provide books, school supplies and educational field trips year-round.
