"Every child deserves to have a great first day of school."

Mark Tucker, Founder

First Day provides the opportunity for almost 1,000 low-income and at-risk children to begin their school year with confidence and enthusiasm. Our First Day event has a festive atmosphere with lots of games and activities for the whole family. Each registered child that attends the First Day event receives a backpack filled with school supplies, a haircut from a licensed professional, and a new outfit of shirt, pants, and shoes. Each family in attendance receives a bag of non-perishable food items to take home with them after the event.

"Every child deserves the best chance to achieve their graduation day."

AboutKidz partners with the San Juan Unified School District to provide free tutoring at Northridge Elementary School. Tutoring is provided on the school campus twice a week for two hours each day.  We are helping the students achieve grade level standards in reading and writing. We help with homework, practice reading and math facts and reinforce learning using education games. Our team of volunteer tutors consists of retired educators, college graduates who are aspiring to be educators, and college bound high school students who desire to give back to their community.
