Our Youth Development Program

KIC-IT began in 2011 as the need for homeless youth services was identified in Johnson County. KIC-IT provides individualized programs & support for youth, ages 16-25, in breaking the cycle of homelessness by helping them achieve sustainable life change. As an organization, we value collaborative partnerships to serve the unstably housed or homeless youth in our community. 

​

We believe that life change happens upon the foundation of healthy relationships. Building relationships, establishing boundaries, & setting goals helps our youth redefine their life path. By connecting them to services, skill development, & improved relationships our youth will experience growth - socially, emotionally, and mentally.
 

Each of the KIC-IT programs and initiatives are based upon these core beliefs with a steadfast goal to support and encourage youth along the way to sustainable life change.
