Mission Statement
KICKSTART KIDS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to build strong moral character in our youth through martial arts. We teach character through karate. Established in 1990 by Chuck Norris as a program to give middle school students tools needed to succeed, the KICKSTART KIDS program has positively impacted the lives of more than 100,000 alumni.
About This Cause
KICKSTART KIDS is a nonprofit organization dedicated to giving middle school students the tools and support necessary to resolve conflicts, avoid participating in gangs, choose a drug-free lifestyle, resist negative peer pressure, and remain in school until they graduate. Students in the program achieve a higher level of academic success and ultimately become more productive members of their communities. KICKSTART KIDS was established in 1990 by Chuck Norris with the help of former President George H. W. Bush. In 1992, the program was launched in Houston in four public middle schools- Central, Burbank, Hamilton, and Hogg. Chuck and Gena Norris serve as Chairman and Executive Chairman. The success of the KICKSTART KIDS foundation is their life’s mission, with a vision to be in every school in Texas. For over 25 years, KICKSTART KIDS has developed and delivered our in-school physical education program based on martial arts. We teach responsibility and character development, while building self-esteem by engaging kids in a school-based activity. KICKSTART KIDS is recognized through the TEA (Texas Education Agency) allowing Texas’ independent school districts to award up to two PE credits for participation by the students. Since our inception, the KICKSTART KIDS program has been endorsed by teachers, parents, school and community leaders as having a positive impact on the lives of more than 100,000 alumni. The continued success of KICKSTART KIDS is largely due to the committed dedication of over 80 instructors and staff.
