Fit Kids of America Corp

Fit Kids of America is a Non-Profit 501 (c) 3 educational organization serving the children and families of the community of Westchester in Miami-Dade County for over 30 years.

We offer After-School and Day Camp programs with a focus on bi-lingual academic support, STEM enrichment, arts and culture programming, specialized youth fitness and sports training, nutrition education, social-emotional and mental health skills workshops for 1,000 + plus students annually in Kindergarten through 12th grade.

Our Mission: "to support the development of children and youth who will become academically engaged, physically fit, socially adept, and culturally enriched to become independent and successful citizens of the future".

Underserved communities like Westchester lack quality, safe and affordable after-school and day camp programs that offer the families FREE transportation and financial assistance for their children to attend. Without access to our program children face higher risks of inactivity, academic disengagement, limited exposure to STEM, wellness programming and creative development. The vast majority of the children we serve come from at-risk, vulnerable, socioeconomically disadvantaged households, and face barriers that affect their access to educational opportunities, supportive resources, and positive youth development.

Our programs are designed to assist our families to address these challenges by providing them with the resources, guidance, and support they need for their children to learn, grow and thrive in a healthy environment.

Sustaining quality programming for over 1,000 children per year requires ongoing investment in equipment, staffing, and site capacity that current funding doesn't fully cover.

The impact of a donation from Give Miami will be instrumental to the sustainability of these much needed services to the community we serve.
