Team Kids Challenge
Team Kids' core program is the six-week Team Kids Challenge (TKC), a research-based and empirically validated approach to youth development that is offered at no charge to participating schools. During the flagship, award-winning Team Kids Challenge, a six-week elementary school-based program, every student is invited to work alongside police, firefighters, parent volunteers and Team Kids mentors to address real-world issues, such as homelessness, hunger, safety and the environment. A Leadership Team helps the students fulfill three weekly service challenges that address community needs, while planning a fundraising carnival that occurs during the final week and benefits a cause chosen by the students. The TKC is comprised of a kickoff assembly, Leadership Team meetings, a student-run carnival and a celebration meeting.
Team Kids' flagship program, the six-week Team Kids Challenge (TKC), delivers impactful outcomes that underscore its commitment to youth development. Throughout the TKC, students actively engage with real-world issues, such as homelessness, hunger, safety, and the environment, working alongside police, firefighters, parent volunteers, and Team Kids mentors. The program yields quantifiable community impact metrics, showcasing the number of students involved and addressing specific community needs through weekly service challenges.

Qualitative feedback, including testimonials from educators, parents, and community partners, highlights the emotional and educational impact on students. The program's long-term community engagement is reflected in indicators of continued involvement beyond the five weeks, demonstrating sustained efforts initiated by students.
