We journey side by side with kids encouraging and equipping them to reach their highest God-given potential.
our program
Side by Side Kids (SBSK) is the only free, faith-based afterschool program in East Austin. We serve 300 elementary students annually in some of the most under-resourced neighborhoods, where thousands of kids have no supervision or safe place to go after the bell rings. SBSK encourages and equips our children through personalized homework help, a healthy meal, mentoring, and faith- and character-building curriculum.
Our program is privately funded with the support of individuals, churches, foundations, and businesses. 98% of our students advance to the next grade level. Side by Side Kids was the sole Texas-based recipient of the Chick-fil-A Foundation's 2016 "True Inspiration Awards," which recognizes nonprofits around the country for their impact on youth.
OUR MISSION
We are on a mission to inspire and equip kids in East Austin to be excellent students, make wise choices, and follow Christ.
To help us meet our mission, we focus on different biblical character traits such as faithfulness, compassion, and perseverance each week. Our Afterschool Teachers use a variety of teaching strategies, including physical activities, music, and art.
