Want to Create a Local TCK Group?

Do you want to gather TCKs in your area but don't know where to start? We can help you.

Apply to Become a Local Community Leader.

Many of us go about our daily lives not knowing what’s going on in our area or the people who live around us.

TCK Local Community Leaders dispel that isolation by bringing people together online and, more importantly, in the real world.

Why be a Local Community Leader?

People step forward to run TCK groups because they want to make a difference in their own lives as well as the lives of others. They want to enrich, expand, and share their experiences. You'll be able to:

  • Build a Sense of Belonging and Community

  • Share Knowledge

  • Building Friendships

  • Strengthening Communities

  • Effective Change

What You Will Get

As a TCKID Local Leader, you'll have a plethora of great tools and resources at your disposal. And all of them are designed to help you run awesome TCK groups.

You'll have your own TCKID email (e.g: name@tckid.com), activities for your events, ice-breaker games, and our help to locate TCKs in your area and in our Facebook Page of over 17,000 TCKs.
