​MISSION AND HISTORY

​The mission of Arkansas Kids After School Network is to empower and enrich the lives of youth by providing access to quality educational programs, creative arts such as dance, martial arts, acting and essential entrepreneur skills.  We are committed to promoting a safe and positive environment where young people can grow personally, academically, and socially.  Through our programs and the ones we serve, we strive to inspire and equip students with the skills and tools they need to achieve their full potential and become successful, responsible members of our community. 

ORGANIZATION HISTORY

Our organization was created to bridge the gap in education and creative arts resources across the state of Arkansas. For the past five year, we've served over 300 youth a year in different cities to help overcome diversity and inclusion in creative arts.  Our Board of Directors and Staff Members work diligently to incorporate programs that are beneficial to the students, parents, and community.  Once a year we provide free clothing to youth in school that are need by hosting a "Back to School Fashion Show" yearly in the month of August.   In the month of December we host an event call "Winter Candyland" which provides free clothing but also entertainment, free food, scholarships and more.  We know the importance of giving back to community and showcasing to our parents who students have learned and developed while attending our programs.   Local School Districts find our organization to be vital to the community for the services we offer and professional staff that teaches our youth.
