What People are Saying About Us

Ryan Franz, Child Advocate

Kodie’s Kids fills an important role in helping kids understand that there is a bright future ahead of them if they are ready to do the work. There are many great programs and services that provide teens with knowledge and skills that will help them with a college or career path, and I am very supportive of those services. Kodie’s Kids provides specific education, training, and even funding for kids who want to pursue EMS and first-responder careers. This helps kids, many of whom are just trying to get through to the next day, a chance to visualize success and happiness months and years down the road, providing them with hope for a future beyond the next 24 hours. Additionally, some kids I work with are interested in helping others who are in need, and Kodie’s Kids provides them with a chance at a career doing just that.
