Kids Off The Block (KOB)

Kids Off The Block (KOB)
Posted By: Emmanuel Brown on November 04, 2008


Kids Off The Block (KOB), a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization was established in September 2003. Our mission and commitment is to reach out to those who have been labeled "at-risk" youth, engaging and interacting with them through positive programs and activities. Our vision is to engage the youth in after school programs, weekend retreats, and family/community-oriented events thus eliminating the influence of involvement with gangs, drugs, truancy, violence, alcohol, and juvenile justice system occurrences.
