Meet the Founder
Idella Renea Gates founded Elite Kids Society with a commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for children to learn, grow, explore, and thrive. Through school-based academic support, summer learning, food and essential resources, enrichment experiences, wellness activities, arts and culture, and leadership development, she works to connect children and families with programs and experiences that support their growth and future goals.
Her leadership is grounded in the belief that strong relationships, meaningful experiences, and access to opportunity can make a lasting difference in a child’s life.
“When we invest in children, we invest in the future of our communities.”
