Consult 4 Kids is a one-stop-shop for adults who work with youth as positive role models and mentors, in TK-12 education whether that is within the school day or through formal and informal expanded learning opportunity programs.
Entrusted Legacy, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, partners with youth-serving organizations to deliver direct programs for youth and provide essential professional development for the mentors and role models guiding them daily in clubs and expanded learning.

Child ChampionZ Hub is a community dedicated to putting children first. We bring together individuals, small groups, and youth-serving organizations to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive. By working collaboratively, we create a supportive environment where young people feel a sense of belonging and can reach their full potential.
Anyone committed to supporting children and youth can be part of the Hub! This includes educators, afterschool program staff, youth mentors, coaches, parents, family members, faith leaders, community volunteers, and youth-serving organizations of all sizes.
No single person or organization can fully meet the needs of children alone. By forming a strong, connected network, we ensure that young people receive consistent support across schools, community programs, and organizations. A united effort strengthens opportunities for youth and helps level the playing field for all.
Between them, our partner organizations bring more than one hundred years of collective experience working with young people and the adults who guide them. That work spans school districts and TK-12 classrooms, expanded learning and out-of-school-time programs, and youth-serving organizations including clubs, camps and community groups. It also reaches the people who support young people outside any formal program: parents, grandparents, coaches, mentors, babysitters and faith leaders. If you would like to know whether we have worked with an organization like yours, get in touch and we will tell you plainly.
There are many ways to engage with the Child ChampionZ Hub! You can participate in training, connect with other child champions, access resources, or contribute your expertise. Whether you’re an individual, a small group, or part of a larger organization, we welcome your involvement.
We connect those working directly with youth with professional development, best practices, and ongoing support. Whether you’re a teacher, expanded learning professional, or nonprofit leader, this training and resources are designed to strengthen your ability to guide and mentor young people.
We’re dedicated to supporting everyone who champions youth development, from educators to program leaders to caring adults. Our research-backed courses and resources cater to all roles in a child’s life.
