I had the pleasure to speak with an Amazing group of young ppl with Kidz In Da Hood Inc. (KIDH) .

Through three core programs ā The Bloom Project, Kidz Corner, and First Teachers ā KIDH delivers youth leadership development, community behavioral health support, and caregiver stabilization across Philadelphia.
The Bloom Project
The Bloom Project is KIDHās youth leadership pipeline for ages 10ā21. Built as a four-stage progression, it moves young people from first engagement to peer leadership to paid co-facilitation ā meeting them where they are and giving them a place to grow into.
