Newton and Marlene Maina founded JosiahKids because they deeply believe that every child deserves to cross the finish line of childhood, loved, supported and empowered to make a meaningful life, as well as a meaningful difference. JosiahKids Incorporated opened its doors on September 15th, 2018 in Buford, Georgia as a simple neighborhood classroom with eleven students in their dining room. Today JosiahKids has grown into what we now know as The School of Young Leaders, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to the mission of educating, empowering and equipping young students and teens in the local community in the areas of faith, leadership, community service, and the arts.
