Dads Raising Kinder & Financially Smart Kids



Do you want to raise nice kids? How about kids smart with their money? What about both? Brett Ellen, President and CEO of American Financial Network (AFN), and co-founder of TURN KINDNESS ON is dedicated to teaching children how to be philanthropic and financially responsible.

WHO WE ARE:
Turn Kindness On (TKO) is a non-profit organization that brings parents and children together to build a lifelong relationship with community service. Founded in 2001 by the Ellen family - Mandy, Brett, and their sons Keanu (12 yrs) and Tristen (10 yrs) - TKO donors and volunteers believe we can build a better world by harnessing children’s compassion and energy and empowering them to make a change.

WHAT WE DO:
TKO coordinates local community service events that raise much-needed funds to assist under-served communities domestically and internationally. TKO’s engaging programs are developed for children and parents to encourage philanthropy and volunteerism as family activities.

HOW WE DO IT:
Generous contributions from our donors, active volunteers, and like-minded partnerships allow TKO to develop meaningful and engaging events.


WHY WE DO IT:
At TKO we believe the best way to teach our children about the power of service is to engage them in meaningful projects at an early age. We want to help raise a kinder generation that values philanthropy and volunteerism and will continue community service throughout their lives.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:
TKO welcomes volunteers of all ages who share a passion for community service and helping under-served communities.
