Our Partners

Visit our Blog, WHY MISSIONARIES TO AMERICA?, and let us know what you think about our Partner Ministries, and the possibility of your church and/or ministry partnering with KidTrek.

KidTrek Centers...

A KidTrek Center is a partnership between a local church and KidTrek to walk with at-risk kids, and their families, through life in an intentional, long term manner. A KidTrek Center will have an after school program component, but that is only one small aspect of the Center's mission.

Each Center will be comprised of two KidTrek Frontline Staff, what we call Secondary Nurturers (SN). Each of these SN's will be responsible to develop relationships with five children and their Primary Nurturers (e.g., mom, dad, uncle, aunt, etc).

This CORE Ministry was developed through our education, years of hands on experience, and now the growing amount of data coming out from the past 30-40 years of research on resiliency (i.e., the ability to bounce back, no matter how hard life gets).

We believe that using a Christ-centered approach to youth development, walking with kids through life (Deuteronomy 6:7), we will see boys and girls grow into men and women who are Christ-changed, hope-filled and productive adults.

KidTrek Associates...

KidTrek Associates, in a nutshell, are churches, or para-church organizations, who desire to reach at-risk kids in their community, but are struggling to figure out where to begin.

KidTrek assists these ministries by providing two avenues by which to better reach the children in their church and community:

• After school program
• S.A.M. & Beyond (i.e., Sunday Morning & Beyond)

Associate Ministries who desire to start their own after school program, or who desire to enhance their church's children's and/or youth ministry, attend our 8 day (80 hour) or how to Basic Training.

This is an extremely long and hard training because we want to prepare these ministries for excellence; we want these ministries to feel confident in their ability to handle virtually anything that comes at them.

And when that is not enough, we provide on-going or how to coaching (as needed) for those months after training where questions and/or concerns may arise.

KidTrek's mission is to equip Christian ministries, whether a KidTrek Center or Associate, to walk with at-risk kids through life in such a way these kids will become Christ-changed, hope-filled, productive adults.

What good have we done if these kids we kept safe today are dropping out of school, getting pregnant, dealing drugs, or even dead... tomorrow?
