The Hike Kidz Foundation's mission is to help the local children to thrive, equally, regardless of their circumstances.. The I'm On My Way", He thrives. She thrives. program is a Youth Empowerment program for all youth that want to engage in thriving, no matter what. This is a motivational program that teaches you how to overcome adversities, dream big, discover the power of mentorship, how to engage with your community and more.
​
This program is developed for speakers and mentors to join together, to share experiences and truths about winning, after falling down or just not giving up. The speakers help through personal story telling and intimate truths that led them to the position they are in. The message is to know your dream, learn how to foster it, and who to lean on. Our speakers are community leaders and are asked to speak on subjects of empowerment specific to the above subjects.
​
The program is ongoing and requires engagement and an agreement to follow the cores values of the program. Community projects and participation are required.
The "If I could. I would..." program is designed to reach the children and let them know they can dream big, want many things and that when you ask you may receive.
​
We have partnered with many local extra curricular organizations to help provide what may have not been possible. Our community is making it possible, so never give up and let us know what you would love to do.

Hike Kidz Foundation will be working directly with the special services liaison, who will also be working directly with each school. Once the parent/child have worked with the department, Hike Kidz Foundation will take the received forms provided.
