Why KCDA?
Choosing KCDA means choosing a partner committed to real, measurable transformation. What sets Kornah’s Character Development Academy apart is not only what we teach, but how we teach it, and the lasting impact it creates for individuals, families, and communities.
01
Purpose-Driven Transformation
At KCDA, our foundation is built on the belief that character is the cornerstone of success. We don’t just deliver classes, we deliver a pathway to self-discovery, accountability, and sustainable growth. Every service we provide, from Thinking for a Change (T4C) to one-on-one counseling, is rooted in the purpose of empowering individuals to take control of their lives and futures.
02
Evidence-Based & Nationally Recognized Programs
Our signature program, Thinking for a Change, is a nationally recognized, evidence-based cognitive behavioral curriculum. This program has been proven to reduce recidivism, enhance decision-making, and promote personal responsibility. We bring a research-backed approach that ensures our clients are receiving tools that truly work.
03
Holistic Approach to Growth
Unlike many organizations, KCDA addresses the whole person. We combine character development, cognitive-behavioral practices, and emotional wellness strategies to provide clients with a complete toolkit for success. This holistic model ensures lasting change rather than short-term solutions.
04
Community Impact that Lasts
KCDA is not just about individual success, it’s about ripple effects. When one person is transformed, their family, workplace, and community benefit as well. Our programs strengthen families, reduce barriers to reentry, and build safer, healthier neighborhoods.
05
Customized & Compassionate Delivery
We understand that no two clients are the same. That’s why we tailor our programs to meet the specific needs of correctional facilities, businesses, schools, and individuals. With compassion and cultural awareness at the forefront, we meet people where they are and help them get to where they want to be.
