Hello

I'm Cierra Barker, the Executive Director of Kelly's Kids Inc.  I grew up on the West side of Jacksonville, Florida, and attended a community center where Morris Kelly, or "Coach" as we called him, was the community center's, Executive Director. This experience was filled with positive reinforcement, and education which changed the trajectory of my life and others that attended.  He dedicated his life to working non-stop to improve children's and families lives. This lasting impression inspired me to carry out his legacy of service and create "Kelly's Kids Inc."

​

Kelly’s Kids is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in Jacksonville and Miami, Florida, and expanding. We provide after-school and summer enrichment programs for kids ages 6-18 that focus on youth development, education, and recreation. Our mission is to create an environment where our students can reach their full potential, and to that end, we are launching a capital funding campaign and other initiatives to help support our programs. 

​

If you’re a business or other organization that is interested in sponsorship or partnership, we welcome your support and invite you to learn more about what we do. Join us in making a difference in the lives of young people in our community.

​

I am passionate about this work and look forward to sharing more information, updates and making more connections.
