K-grams, Inc.

The K-grams (short for "Kids Programs") mission is to establish a strong community of learning for a wide range of college and elementary students, educators, and families by developing positive relationships that extend beyond the classroom. Started at the University of Michigan campus is 1998, K-grams, Inc. incorporated in 2000 as a nonprofit organization and established chapters around U.S.A. After years of growth, the core model was released as open-source, and individual chapters continued independently. The flagship University of Michigan chapter was re-organized as a Sponsored Student Organization within the Student Affairs Department of Housing where it continues to serve hundreds of students annually.
