Our Mission
Providing the tools for a bright future
At RESOURCES FOR KIDS, we believe every child deserves access to quality educational resources and opportunities that will help them thrive. Our mission drives everything we do, from the programs we develop to the partnerships we forge in our community.
We understand that education is the foundation for a successful future. By providing comprehensive resources and support systems, we empower children to reach their full potential while strengthening family bonds and community connections. Our work creates ripple effects that benefit not just individual children, but entire families and neighborhoods.
What We Do
RESOURCES FOR KIDS is a nonprofit organization that provides children and their families with access to educational materials, after-school programs, and other community resources. Our comprehensive approach addresses multiple aspects of child development and family support.
Educational Materials
We provide free books, school supplies, and learning resources to ensure no child's education is limited by financial constraints. From textbooks to art supplies, we bridge the gap between need and opportunity.
After-School Programs
Our engaging after-school programs offer homework assistance, enrichment activities, and safe spaces for children to learn and grow while parents work. Each program is designed to supplement classroom learning.
Community Resources
We connect families with essential services including tutoring, mentorship programs, and family support services. Our network of community partnerships ensures comprehensive care for every child.
Educational Materials Program
Free Resources for Learning
Our educational materials program ensures that every child has access to the tools they need to succeed academically. We distribute thousands of books, school supplies, and learning aids each year to families throughout Phoenix.
  • Age-appropriate books and reading materials
  • Essential school supplies and backpacks
