Who we are
Friends of TKCU is a parent-run, non-profit group created to support The Kid Connection University. Our goal is to support TKCU students, teachers, and parents. We are planning opportunities for children and families to come together and get to know each to build friendships and community. We also hope to organize school volunteer and community service opportunities. We need your ideas and help!
Membership is $50 per family ($25 if you are a staff member of TKCU). Membership comes with voting rights and access to membership events.
