FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19: EXPLANATION: UPON REQUEST FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION: Kickstart Kids offers high quality martial arts instruction to adolescents navigating the difficult middle and high school years. At a time when students are developing their identity and faced with significant life choices, the KSK curriculum promotes a sense of community, achievement, healthy lifestyles and the foundation of character - discipline, responsibility, kindness, respect, courage, dedication, honesty, and loyalty. The Texas Education Agency recognized in-school program offers an easily accessible, affordable and inclusive environment to all students in our partner schools. For a $75 annual participation fee, the program is offered to students five days per week during the school day, plus free after-school sessions, and the opportunity to participate in Demonstration Teams and weekend tournaments, which keep students engaged with a healthy peer group and under the positive influence of a strong role model and mentor in their instructor. The after-school sessions, Demonstration Teams and tournaments are available to middle school students, as well as high school students who were formerly in the program and desire to keep training with their instructor. Kickstart Kids functions as a comprehensive, consistently implemented, highly effective, school-setting accessible means of delivering character building and social emotional learning lessons through martial arts training to empower students, often in schools with economically disadvantaged and at-risk populations, to reach their full potential.
