Kick Start 4 Kids will be providing volunteering opportunities for Crewmen members and also working with Crewmen on joint initiatives for fundraising events.
KickStart for Kids was founded on the belief that every child, regardless of their social or economic background, should have an equal chance to succeed. They facilitate this belief by running school breakfast and lunch programs, mentoring programs and providing basic clothing and healthcare support in South Australian schools.
If children are attending school hungry or encountering hardship, they can’t fully engage with the curriculum, which means they might not achieve the educational outcomes required to succeed. Research shows that children who grow up experiencing hardship are more likely to remain uneducated and live in hardship as adults.
Kick Start 4 Kids firmly believes that Education = Power and Opportunity, their initiatives aim to help level the playing field and end this cycle of hardship.
