A Kid Again is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Columbus, Ohio, that supports families raising children with life-threatening illnesses. It aims to restore a sense of normalcy by enabling families to share positive, hospital-free experiences and create lasting memories. Its signature activity, called an A Kid Again Adventure, is a group outing to a local destination that covers admission, meals, parking, mementos, and coordinated activities to be enjoyed together. Its approach centers on involving the entire family to bolster well-being and resilience during a challenging period. Measured outcomes show 91% of families reporting improved emotional well-being, 86% noting closer relationships, and 85% of children experiencing greater hope. It operates through regional chapters and partners with organizations and venues to facilitate adventures, including collaborations with Six Flags in Northern Ohio and with Xfinity for experiential events.
