• KIT stands for Kids Included Together, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was founded in San Diego, California in 1997. The mission of Kids Included Together is to support recreational, child development, and youth development programs that include children with and without disabilities. KIT's goals are to enrich the lives of all who participate and to increase understanding and acceptance of disabilities as a natural part of life. We invite you to explore our site and learn more about our work with out-of-school time programs across the United States and internationally.

For over ten years, KIT has supported the inclusion of children with disabilities or other special needs in programs that occur in out-of-school timehours. KIT accomplishes this by creating four-year affiliations with organizations like youth theatre, YMCA�s, Jewish Community Centers, aquatic programs, Boys & Girls Clubs, parks & recreation departments, city 6 to 6 programs, etc. During this affiliation, KIT focuses on sustainability so organizations will continue to provide inclusive environments long after KIT�s involvement has ceased. KIT provides training, technical assistance, site-specific training, and child-specific consultations to produce systemic change within the organization. The end result is an organization that has embraced the philosophy of inclusion and is ready and willing to accept all children, regardless of their abilities, into their programs.
