Welcome To KidsMatter

KidsMatter is a proactive not-for-profit organization whose mission is to empower youth and families with tools to effectively manage the stressors of everyday life through programming, education, and collaboration.

KidsMatter works hard to prevent problems from happening in kids’ lives by providing them with experiences, relationships, opportunities and values they need to succeed. Our education and programming is based on powerful research that’s proven by Search Institute. This research conclusively shows that the more Developmental Assets young people have in their lives, the less likely they are to take part in at-risk behaviors and the more likely they are to exhibit thriving behaviors.
