Ghosts. Goblins. Devils. Vampires. Those are just a few of the standard scary costumes that are bound to be rampant this evening as kids go trick-or-treating for Halloween. While watching scary movies and dressing up in scary outfits and makeup is a staple at this time of year, there’s something else that can cause goosebumps, fear and worry all year round: student debt.
The National Board is moving ahead with strategic planning. We will be working with Aperio Management Consulting Firm.
Aperio is a management consulting firm that works exclusively with organizations (private and nonprofit) that have a social purpose. Their objective is to enable clients to recognize their most important challenges and opportunities, then create and implement strategic solutions to address them.
The future is now fellow KIN. Over the next few months we will be conducting interviews, surveys and focus groups. We want to hear from you. Please take the time to participate so we can say this is "our" plan.
When members are sitting at the round table figuring out the game plan for the types of projects, events and fundraisers to do over the next year(s), it's best to conduct a community needs assessment as a starting point.
Here, as a team, you can assess what is the most important cause to support or service to perform to best meet your objective: serving the community’s greatest need.
Pay it forward. Random acts of kindness. Whatever you call it, the principle is the same: do something good and be kind to others. It seems to be such a simple idea, that one person doing something nice can lead to the recipient passing it on or learning something positive.
We are like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle. We are all unique, and have our own special shape and place in the puzzle of Kin. However, without each of us, the puzzle is incomplete.
Good morning fellow Kin and welcome back. Back to school always signifies the start of a new-year and that means the new Kin Year is officially under way. I really enjoyed seeing everyone's Facebook posts about their kids/grandkids first day back to school. It is such a special day. It was a special day for me as well; it means the kick off to one of the most exciting years of my life as National President.
There’s been a high level of excitement at Kin Canada and among members over the past couple of months and we’re finally able to officially share the energy: we're offering opportunities for students in college and university to become involved by joining Kin Canada Campus Clubs.
