Overview
Kids in Community (KIC) is an after-school program designed for kids in grades 1 to 6 to spend their time in a safe environment engaged in positive activities. Including games, sports, snacks, stories, Bible teachings, and crafts. Children also receive homework help to encourage them in their academic studies.
