New City Kids is a mid-sized nonprofit that runs after-school centers for youth from first through twelfth grade, pairing academics with artistic programming five days a week. The organization commits to guiding each child from age six to nineteen as an advocate, family member, teacher, and mentor, with the aim of setting them on a path of life transformation. Its national framework supports a strong local presence, currently serving about 500 youth daily across three cities: Grand Rapids, Michigan; Jersey City, New Jersey; and Paterson, New Jersey.

Since 2009, outcomes among high school seniors involved with the program have been strong: every graduate completes high school, 99% proceed to college, and 90% finish college by age 25, rates that exceed the national average for low-income youth. The organization maintains a long-range vision that emphasizes continuous support from childhood through young adulthood. Based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, New City Kids operates within the nonprofit education and youth development landscape, delivering sustained, relationship-based programming across its three-city footprint.
