What
Developing Kingdoms In Different Stages (Developing KIDS) is a non-profit organization that services its community through three service areas: Prevention, Family Management, and Community Support. The word Kingdoms is used as a synonym for communities. The word Stages, represents the process in how we will service communities. The philosophy behind this is as follows: leaders will be created in every community; the needs and priorities for one community may be totally different than another community. Therefore, that Kingdom, community, will be developed in a different stage than a prior community serviced by this organization based on the need and risk factors of that community. The mission is fulfilled in efforts to reach out to families instead of individuals. There is support for individuals, but the focus is to get the community to see that they are apart of a group/family and they must work together to bring about change; therefore building strong communities.
