Wings for Kids

We are so ✨incredibly✨ grateful to the TD Charitable Foundation for their generous $10,000 donation to support afterschool programming in South Carolina!

TD Charitable Foundation has contributed millions to nonprofits in pursuit of their mission to support, respect, and improve the quality of life in the diverse communities they serve — and we are honored to be a part of that impact.

This investment will go directly toward giving kids the social and emotional skills they need to thrive. Thank you, TD Charitable Foundation, for believing in our mission and in the children of South Carolina! 🌟

Happy ! At Wings for Kids, we know that friendship isn't just fun — it's foundational. The social-emotional skills kids build with their friends shape who they become for the rest of their lives.

Today, we're celebrating the friendships formed in our programs every single day — the ones that start on a playground and last a lifetime. 🌟

Oh, the places you'll go!🎓We're so proud of everything you've become. Congratulations, class of 2026!

Here's to kicking off summer the right way — sticky fingers, rainbow bubbles, and big smiles.🫧

Slippery, slimy, spiky, creepy, and crawly—our courageous kids handled it all!🪳🐸🕷️🦎🐍

Thanks to 8 Legged Scales students learned about exotic animals, insects and reptiles, and got to test the limits of their bravery. Big SMILES, bigger COURAGE!😀

Math has never been this much fun!✨ Big thanks to the awesome volunteers from Cummins Inc for bringing the energy to Math Bingo at Boyd Elementary. We are so grateful for this incredible partnership! 💛 "

Every young person deserves high-quality afterschool and out-of-school time (OST) experiences that support their growth, spark curiosity, and help them thrive. And behind every great program is a dedicated afterschool professional — a mentor, educator, and champion for young people.

This Afterschool Professionals Appreciation Week (April 20–24, 2026), we’re shining a light on the 850,000+ afterschool professionals nationwide who make a profound difference every day.

Why does it matter?
✅ Nearly 10 million children rely on afterschool programs for learning, exploration, and support
✅ Skilled professionals create safe, engaging environments where youth can grow
✅ Every young person deserves access to quality programs, and that starts with investing in the workforce that makes them possible
