Time for Kids helps disadvantaged children and young people by matching them with volunteer carers or mentors on a regular part-time basis, usually one weekend or day a month, or during school holidays.
We aim to give children access to opportunities, positive role models, useful lessons for later in life, acceptance, respect and care. Children have a much needed break from what can often be a stressful home life.
Since 1960, we have helped more than 4700 South Australian children and their families.
Our philosophy is simple: sharing time can change a life.
If you share our belief that every child deserves to know they are valued and that their future can be bright, we'd love you to join us.
Contact us to help change the direction of a child's life.
Please support the wonderful organisations who support Time for Kids. Together, we can make a world of difference for kids in need in South Australia.
'Research has shown that caring, mentoring relationships can result in children at risk of delinquency deal better with adolescence and developing into more self-reliant and responsible adults. This is essentially what Time for Kids has been doing for more than five decades.'
Next Friday, the 14th of June, we are having a fundraising BBQ at the Lion Hotel for Time for Kids.
It's a very casual affair and will kick off from 5.30pm. So feel free to drop by after work, grab a gourmet sausage hot off the grill and stay for a few drinks.
The more the merrier, so feel free to bring your friends (or even friends of friends!)
Would love to see you there!
Time for Kids is holding FREE training for TfK volunteers and families who care for children
