Youth Leadership is our Mission
CityKids Coalition has been in our DNA since CItyKids was founded in 1985.
Our new Coalition is run by former CityKids and our Executive Team with the goal of gathering and empowering young leaders to take control of their narrative and assert their power and creative vision.
