Kids At Their Best
Leading the Way for Fort Morgan You
At Kids At Their Best (KATB), we are dedicated to helping rural young people from low-income families shape their own futures. Through opportunity, foundational truth, and courageous leadership, we support children across Northeast Colorado.
Our Youth Support and Opportunities Services
We offer a comprehensive range of programs designed to bridge the gap for rural families. From ensuring nutritional stability to providing professional career pathways, our mission is to foster confidence and capability in every student we serve.
We ensure no child goes hungry by providing reliable access to healthy meals through our Summer Food Service Program and year-round community food distribution efforts across the region.
Our program prepares teens for the future through paid employment opportunities, job readiness training, and life skills coaching, creating a direct pipeline from education to a meaningful career.
We host dedicated AmeriCorps members who provide vital support to our community, helping us expand our reach and deliver high-quality enrichment to the youth who need it most.
Our licensed afterschool and summer programs offer safe, engaging environments where kids can explore STEM, participate in fitness activities, and continue learning outside of the traditional classroom setting.
We provide a safety net for vulnerable youth through our homelessness initiative, offering basic needs support and resource navigation to ensure every young person has a stable foundation.
