Discover all the benefits
Join our KCM Thrive Life for YOUTH Informational Meeting on July 14th at 10:00 AM PDT
WEEKLY OPTIONS FOR YOUTH
One of the great benefits to parents is that your youth can be learning on their computer and you don’t have to drop them off, and they can discover friends from around the world as well because it’s all online!
We have two times on Thursdays starting in September, where your youth will meet weekly, either from 9-10 AM PTD or 7-8 PM PTD. These times include teaching and discussion for 30 minutes (includes adults and teens) and then 30 minutes of small group time with their peers. This includes talking about how they are doing and what they are learning in the modules.
Each week, they will have an assignment due, which takes around 30-60 minutes, depending on the subject matter, for them to complete before they come to their Thursday KCM Thrive Life For Youth meeting.
So, the KCM Thrive Life for Youth averages out to about a two hour commitment per week. We follow the school year, so you are off for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

Can Parents Join the Adult KCM Thrive Life Academy?
We have had parents also join at the same time as their youth or at different times as well.
It’s a great learning experience when you BOTH are growing through the same courses, exploring your creative passions, and learning together.
The only part that will be separate will be your weekly small group time.
