Since its inception, K-grams' goal has always been to connect two dynamic communities: elementary and college. As a matter of fact, the mission of the organization has only changed a word or two since a half-dozen undergraduates gathered on their campus to create K-grams. Currently there are three distinct stages we go through in starting a K-grams Chapter. These are the following:

Local Network - these include either individuals or institutions that desire to be a part of the K-grams network. Affiliates are placed in a queue with the National Office until the proper partners within their local area have been developed to create a Starter School.

Starter Schools - a college/elementary community that has been approved by K-grams, Inc. and has a continued relationship with Regional Liaisons and the National Office as they develop their programming.

Official Chapter - a Starter School which has functioned for about a year and demonstrated the criteria necessary to maintain a K-grams Chapter; at this point, they are officially granted a charter!
