The Kids Network
The Kids Network is a community of children and young professionals connecting through fun, friendship and hardship for positive social change. We support children at a crucial time in their development - in the lead up to and often during the transition from primary into secondary school. We do this by providing them with a volunteer mentor, a young professional from the local community.
The Kids Network are a London based organisation working in boroughs across the city to help support children aged 8-11 through one-to-one mentoring.
At a crucial age in a child’s development, mentors help with their social and emotional development during the transitional period between primary and secondary school.
Mentors help build confidence, resilience and curiosity for ambitious futures through a series of fun and positive activities and experiences, opening up London in accessible and interesting ways.
Outside of sessions, mentors are able to connect with one another through peer to peer support both online and in regular mentor meet ups. Mentors also receive full training and ongoing support.
Time commitment
This is a year long mentoring programme. We ask that you are ideally able to volunteer once a week for 1-3 hours for 12 months. We are flexible about taking the occasional week off, but do expect our volunteers to commit to the full 12 months.
