Any culturally complex kid, ages 7 to 16! Kaleidoscope’s TCK Club connects third culture kids and cross-cultural kids with online community and leaders who “get it”. Following registration, groups are divided by ages and time zones...because #tckproblems.

We’ll send you reminder emails each week of Club that include lists of any items you might need for that week’s club and a link that you can use to join.

TCK 101 covers three important TCK topics: identity, story, and goodbyes. We spend two weeks on each topic: first we cover key concepts and facilitate initial discussion, and the second week is devoted entirely to practical application and creative processing! Each session meets once a week for 45-60 minutes and includes guided discussions, games (SO many games) and reflection activities .

Themed TCK Clubs also meet once a week for 45-60 minutes. Each themed club has 6 weeks of activities designed around a specific theme, like “Games” or “Art.”

Check out individual Club descriptions for more details.

All sessions meet in Zoom—you don’t need an account to join! We’ll send out an email before each week of Club with the link you’ll need to join. All you need to do is open the email and click the link to join!

Each Club will be facilitated by two Kaleidoscope-trained and vetted Club Leaders. They facilitate activities and discussion that provide consistent debrief, ongoing friendship, and teach practical skills.

Kaleidoscope’s TCK Club does not provide professional counseling, coaching, or therapy services. This is also not a babysitting program! Leaders will not provide any unsolicited or direct advice to your TCKs. The purpose of these groups is to provide the space for TCKs to come together to share their stories and to process their experiences.

Consistent debrief through TCK Club does NOT replace a full debrief or professional counseling! If your child or family has experienced a significant transition, traumatic event, or has mental health concerns we highly recommend completing a Parent-Led or Personal Debrief through TCK Training or speaking to a TCK-informed therapist athttps://www.expatkidsclub.com/services/ Expat Kids Club.

Your TCKs’ safety and well-being is our number one priority. We train all of our volunteers to uphold the strictest child safety standards of care, and we’re also taking every measure to protect your TCKs as they interact with Kaleidoscope virtually. Upon acceptance to the program, you will receive a detailed copy of our child safety policy and sign a consent form that informs you of the safety specifics of our digital platform.
