The Kellogg PEAK Initiative

The Kellogg PEAK Initiative is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that focuses on a long-term, progressive journey of character development that spans from age 7 to adulthood. The program’s approach to leadership development is driven by best practices in social-emotional learning and experiential education with proven results. By investing in youth, The Kellogg PEAK Initiative fosters exploration and discovery for young people through experience-based learning, and to date it has served thousands of youth through its programs.

• Ages: 7–18 years old

The Kellogg PEAK Initiative’s mission is to bring out the limitless potential in young leaders through extraordinary experiences and nurturing relationships. Its success has led to an expansion of offerings beyond summer camp to include after-school and weekend offerings year-round. The organization states that it does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status in any of its activities or operations, and it is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for staff, program participants, clients, volunteers, subcontractors, and vendors. One participant describes PEAK as a second home where everybody is celebrated, loved, and appreciated. A parent reports that their children love PEAK and that it positively impacts their social and leadership skills and supports their independence. A graduate shares that PEAK allowed them to experience different things, grow more confident to try new things, and feel able to confidently achieve their goals.
