Here is the program overview for the 2021-2022 year. The sessions and details may change for our 2022-2023 program, but this is intended to give you an idea of what will be covered.
You will develop the knowledge, skills, and mindset to make an impact in the world over 100 hours of live sessions, workshops, and activities. No two TKS sessions are the same.
