Welcome to KARA :

Your source for information, resources, and opportunties

to improve the lives of at risk children and the people that

live with, love, and work with them.

Kids At Risk- Action! (KARA) is a 501c3 non-profit action tank created with the intention of increasing awareness and influencing the public agenda around the welfare of at-risk children and youth.

The toll of childhood trauma on society is incalculable.

Beyond the immediate and long term suffering of the children who are victimized, society incurs medical and mental health costs, poorer school performances, community violence, disruption in families, high incarceration rates and a cycle of abuse that is often generational. 

KARA’s mission:

To advocate for the welfare of at-risk children and youth

through the identification and promotion of

people, programs, and policies that work.
