BZ Kidz
BZ Kidz is a non-profit after-school youth organization.
BZ KIDZ provides a road map to success for our youth, who are faced with a rapidly changing world, filled with more confusion and uncertainty than ever before. BZ KIDZ offers young people what they need and want most – adults who respect and listen to them; a safe environment where they can have fun and be themselves; and interesting, constructive activities that channel youthful energy into challenging pursuits. A youth development strategy that fosters a sense of belonging, competence, usefulness and influence underlies all BZ KIDZ programs and builds self-confidence and self-esteem.
BZ KIDZ is dedicated to inspiring and enabling all young people to realize their full potential as caring, responsible and successful individuals; through fun learning experiences in a safe and supervised environment.
BZ KIDZ strives to achieve excellence as a youth service organization by encompassing a sense of hope; valuing every member and letting them know they belong, they matter, and they can make a difference.
