KATB Approach

At Kids At Their Best (KATB), we believe Youth (Em)Powered is more than a tagline – it’s a call to action. For rural youth to be at their best, they need more than encouragement – they need consistent access to safety, belonging, leadership opportunities, culturally responsive support, economic mobility, and a community that believes in them.

In rural places, youth often grow up with strong community ties – but fewer formal opportunities. That’s why KATB builds bridges between rural values and big-picture possibilities. We believe rural youth thrive when systems work for them – not against them. Being at their best means having a seat at the table, access to power, and the tools to shape the future. KATB also addresses the structural forces – like racism, ableism, and generational poverty – that limit opportunity for rural youth. Our work confronts these root causes head-on.
