We are an after-school program to help kids do good.

A Perfect Place To Teach Your Kids About Community and Volunteering
What Parent's Say About Us
We wanted to take our son to volunteer on the weekends, but life kept getting in the way. Now, I know he is learning about giving to others at Katydid while having fun.
Our kids love learning about the community organizations at Katydid. They come home sharing information about local volunteer events and what they can do to make the world a better place.
Our daughter is inspired when she comes home from Katydid. She has learned about food, waste, and local organizations. She loves it.
