Kim Carter

Kim Carter is the Founder/Ambassador of Time for Change Foundation. Certified in accounting with an emphasis on non-profit organizations, Kim was inspired to leave the corporate world in 2002 to start Time for Change Foundation. Motivated by her own experiences as a formerly incarcerated woman, Kim made it her mission to help women and children make the transition from homelessness and recidivism to self-sufficiency. Kim is a powerful voice for women who bear the scars of poverty, homelessness, and incarceration. It is Kim’s belief that by providing these women with training and the opportunity to develop life skills, in a nurturing and supportive environment, they will become independent, active participants in their communities. She aspires to the work of her idol, Harriet Tubman, by lighting a path and leading others to freedom from addiction and incarceration. Her motto is that “a lit candle loses nothing when it lights another.” Kim is also a motivational speaker, an advocate, an author, a graduate of the Women’s Foundation of California’s Women’s Policy Institute and more recently a developer.
