Meet Kia Green: A Visionary Committed to Community Empowerment
Kia Green, a Philadelphia native, is a visionary leader whose journey exemplifies the transformative power of dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment to uplifting underserved youth and communities. With over 15 years of invaluable experience in the nonprofit sector, Kia has dedicated her life to shaping a brighter future for those in need.
Born with an innate drive to lead, serve, and inspire, Kia’s roots are firmly grounded in Philadelphia’s dynamic cultural landscape. Growing up, she witnessed firsthand the challenges facing inner-city neighborhoods and understood the profound impact that environment has on shaping one's future. Determined to be a catalyst for change, she began mentoring as a teenager, quickly realizing the power of guidance and support in transforming lives. A defining moment came when she saw someone close to her struggle due to a lack of resources and mentorship, solidifying her passion for creating spaces where people feel heard, valued, and empowered.
Kia's remarkable path includes a foundation of artistic expression, as she honed her skills at The Philadelphia High School for Creative & Performing Arts, mastering Classical Ballet, Modern, Jazz, and African dance. Continuing her educational journey at Temple University, she earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Marketing. Kia's pursuit of knowledge and commitment to her cause took her to Southern California, where she attained a Master of Nonprofit Management and Leadership degree with distinction from Capella University.
In 2010, Kia turned her vision into reality by founding Building Futures Incorporated (BFI), a 501(c)(3) community-based nonprofit organization designed to provide mobile self-development programs, mentoring services, and life-enrichment opportunities for youth and young adults, now expanding to provide free wellness and mental health services to underserved community residents.
Under her leadership, BFI has become a beacon of transformation, equipping young individuals with the tools for success and cultivating the next generation of leaders. Kia’s unwavering belief in the power of education, mentorship, and exposure to accomplished professionals fuels her mission to bridge gaps, build partnerships, and provide economically disadvantaged residents with access to essential resources and opportunities. Every success story, every young person who finds their voice, and every program that creates lasting change reinforces her commitment.
Her motto, "BE BOLD. BE BRAVE. BE INSPIRED!", encapsulates the spirit with which she navigates her journey and encourages others to do the same. With Kia at the helm, Building Futures Incorporated is not just an organization, it’s a movement for a brighter, more equitable future.
Join Kia on this incredible journey of transformation.
Let the metamorphosis begin within!
