It’s Wonderful Knowing That You Can Help a Child Transform Their Future

It’s so motivating to think about the far-reaching effects of what we do. By working with children at a key time in their development, we help them set themselves up for a more successful, happier life. With their mentors, TKN children are able to: 

Go on adventures that help them develop confidence
Rely on a grown-up who’s there to listen to them
Build tools that they’ll use in the future

We want every child who wants a mentor to have one. Can you help us by volunteering, donating or partnering with us as a school?  

Whether you’re interested in becoming a mentor, you want to refer a pupil from your school, or you’d like to learn more about all the different ways people raise money to help us deliver our programming – our website has all the details – The Kids Network
