Kids Count in Alachua County

Kids Count is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides a free after school program for kindergarten through 3rd grade students in low performing elementary schools in Gainesville, Florida.

Our vision is to…
Provide an opportunity for students who need extra support in the community to succeed in school and life
Partner with schools, churches, organizations, & businesses to offer a highly effective program
Inspire hope, enhance learning, and improve self-confidence while building social skills & concern for others
Provide qualified staff, volunteers, and expertise for the program


We focus on three areas: Academics, Social Skill Development, and Enrichment
Academics:
Math and Literacy Tutoring – For one hour, twice a week, students work one-on-one with the University of Florida’s College of Education tutors on math and literacy skills. Each lesson is specifically designed for our student’s individual needs.
Homework Help – Students are tutored one-on-one or in small groups with homework and supplemented with enrichment activities if they have no homework or get finished early.
Social Skill Development:We teach one character trait a month through practice and reinforcement. We creatively combine our Friday enrichment activities to go along with our traits.
Friday Enrichment:We reach out to the community by inviting guests or going on field trips. This provides fun learning experiences that our students may not otherwise have.
