The Kids Network

Who we are

The Kids Network is a community of young people and volunteers connecting through fun, friendship and hardship for positive social change.

We support children at a crucial time in their development by providing them with a volunteer mentor. The Kids Network builds confidence, resilience and curiosity for ambitious futures through a series of positive experiences and activities.

At The Kids Network, we believe every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and inspired. We connect Little Londoners aged 8-11 with volunteer mentors who help them build confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging as they transition from primary to secondary school.

Our goal is simple: to create positive, lasting change in children’s lives by connecting them with a consistent, caring mentor from their local community.

Our culture and values

Our values are fun, connection, curiosity, diversity, and integrity.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

The Kids Network values diversity and inclusion and we have worked to create an application process that is as accessible as possible, however we recognise that there is more we can do especially for applicants who are minoritised in society, have specific accessibility needs and/or experience discrimination. If this is the case we are both happy to discuss better ways to support your candidacy and make this application process as equitable as possible for you.

We are a diverse organisation and welcome everyone, but it is important to note that the intersections of your identity will not increase or affect the amount of labour you are asked to do. If you wish to draw on your own lived experiences that will be both encouraged and supported but it is not nor ever will be a prerequisite of this role.
