The Kids Network offers a unique opportunity for you to contribute to the lives of children in your borough. We support children during a crucial time in their lives, as they transition from primary to secondary school. In your weekly sessions whether you are playing games or discussing goals, by becoming a mentor you will help a child to build confidence, resilience, and the tools for a positive future.

Whether you're motivated by your community or your own personal experiences, becoming a mentor with us will be rewarding and impactful for both you and your mentee.
