Great KIDS empowers youth-serving adults by providing education and training on the application of positive youth development frameworks and strength-based practices to ensure that our community’s children have the opportunities and relationships they need to grow into productive and healthy adults.

The Great KIDS make Great COMMUNITIES initiative began in 1999 as a project of Allen Superior Court, Family Relations Division. Recognized nationally, its programs and conferences serve as a great resource for strengthening children and families—and ultimately our community.

We’ve proudly supported Great KIDS make Great COMMUNITIES by awarding them Signature Grants, with an investment of more than $2M since 1998.
