Kids Above All

Kids Above All is our August Outreach organization in keeping with our recent focus on serving children such as through our school supply drive and backpack giveaway . The mission of the agency (formerly ChildServ) is to protect, heal and educate children and families so they can build better lives. “Kids Above All” is also an agent for increased advocacy for equal justice, equal rights and equal opportunity for all kids, in every community. Kids Above All offers home-based early childhood and daycare programs to address a growing need in communities across the Chicago area. Those services along with its work in foster care and adoption, housing for teens and formerly homeless young adults, and counseling – help kids, youth and families who are at risk in Cook, DuPage, Kane and Lake counties to have the best life possible.
