Community Roots
Located in the heart of Ohio, we understand the unique needs of our local communities. Our programs are designed to reflect the values and aspirations of the families we serve.
Our Mission
Building leaders, one crown at a time.
At KIDS N CROWNS, we believe every child possesses the potential to become a leader and positive force in their community. Our mission drives everything we do, from our daily interactions with young people to our long-term program development.
What We Do
KIDS N CROWNS is a nonprofit organization that promotes self-confidence and leadership among children by empowering them to be positive role models in their communities. We create safe spaces where children can discover their strengths, develop essential life skills, and learn the importance of giving back.
Leadership Development
We provide structured programs that teach children essential leadership skills through hands-on activities and real-world applications.
Self-Confidence Building
Our supportive environment helps children recognize their unique talents and build the confidence to pursue their dreams.
Community Engagement
Children learn the value of service by participating in community projects and volunteer opportunities.
Our Core Programs
01
Crown Academy
Our flagship 12-week leadership program where children ages 8-16 learn essential skills including public speaking, problem-solving, teamwork, and community service planning.
02
Mentor Circles
Small group mentoring sessions that pair experienced youth leaders with younger participants, fostering peer-to-peer learning and lasting friendships.
03
Community Champions
Service-learning projects where our young leaders identify local needs and develop solutions, putting their leadership skills into action for community benefit.
The Crown Philosophy
The crown serves as our powerful symbol of leadership and self-worth. When children wear their crowns, they're reminded that they are valuable, capable, and destined for greatness. This simple yet profound symbol transforms how children see themselves and their potential.
Every child who participates in our programs receives their own crown as a tangible reminder of their leadership journey and the confidence they've gained through our programs.
Our Impact
Since our founding, KIDS N CROWNS has touched the lives of countless children and families throughout Ohio. Our programs create lasting change that extends far beyond our program walls into schools, homes, and communities.

Success Stories
"My daughter came home from KIDS N CROWNS with a completely different attitude. She's more confident, speaks up for herself, and even started a recycling program at her school. The crown on her dresser reminds her every day that she's a leader."
- Sarah M., Parent
"I used to be really shy and scared to talk in front of people. Now I'm the student council president at my school and I help other kids find their voice too. KIDS N CROWNS changed my life."
- Marcus, Age 14
