Creating Avenues of Engagement
The EDGE Foundation firmly believes that to break the cycle of adversity, young people need opportunities to engage with others beyond their immediate community. KBWCF does just that by bringing together youth from diverse backgrounds, bridging the gap between inner-city youth and high-achievers who are dedicated to serving their community.
Youth Violence Prevention Week
Our annual Kickball with Curt & Friends event takes place during Youth Violence Prevention Week for a reason. We see youth violence as a grave threat to the future of our city, and we are committed to providing alternatives that steer our young people away from violence and toward brighter, more promising futures.
