TNT Leadership Program
TNT (Teens ‘n’ Tweens) shows low-income students ages 12-17 how to become confident leaders. This is the critical age, where teens see alcohol, drugs, and crime all around them. These young people yearn for meaning and responsibility. They find both with paid employment as KATB summer counselors, where they experience the joy and reward of sharing what they have learned with the younger kids.
They enjoy access to the same enrichment activities their wealthier peers take for granted - a yearly retreat to Breckenridge, a Day at the Capitol to meet legislative leaders, STEM Day with local scientists, and opportunities to shadow and be mentored by successful professionals.
-
Over the past eight years 100% of KATB kids in our program in the final year of high school, have graduated and received their diploma.
-
Girls’ Stem introduces young women to female engineers, computer programmers, fire fighters, rocket scientists, and other non-traditional fields.

The programs that Kids At Their Best provides have helped me become a great leader as well as a follower. I have benefited from the different programs because they have allowed me to grow out of my shell and get involved more in and outside of my community.
