OPPORTUNITY KITCHEN!
Access to the world's opportunities. And to each other.
This is what we do. In fact, we are the world's only community dedicated to creating chances.
Now the pandemic turned our opportunity kitchen into a powerful game changer.
Opportunities are everything. |
When we started this community in 2009 we knew what we wanted:
|
Then: enjoyable enough to make them curious for more and to get them to tell their friends about it.
Flexible enough to adjust to growing bodies, minds and ambitions. And, finally, safe enough by letting
youngsters discover the world within a global network of reliable and committed families.
News from the Opportunity Kitchen - January 2021:
For the first ten years, families matched their haves and wants here in bilateral partnerships to open new doors into the world. The Brexit referendum and the US elections in 2016 marked the beginning of a decidedly more political approach in many families. The Fridays for Future movement made our youngsters call for intense collaboration, and we started "a bolder bond". Then came 2020 and the pandemic.
In lockdown, kids, parents and grandparents alike asked for new, more dynamic ways of using the community to build a stronger future. So that's what we did. The opportunity kitchen became our superpower platform for the 2020ies.
Please use the dropdown menu above to see how much the opportunity kitchen has to offer!
Opportunities to learn a new language, to master a new skill, to meet new people and discover new thoughts and ideas. Chances to try out a job or a workplace, a sport or an instrument, a lifestyle or a philosophy, a culture or an environment.
Options for one child's special needs and for another's exceptional talents, possibilities to tackle new challenges and to fathom personal limits. And now, of course, opportunities to meet just the right sparring partners, to start new dialogues and achieve goals together. Across all borders. |
CONNECTED by a BOLDER BONDFridays for Future: Our community stands for environmental responsibility. Our children are part of Greta's generation.

Global Natives for Future: Please learn more here to see how qualified experts and interested young idealists come together! We even have a few Nobel laureates "on offer" ;)) |
In years to come, no one should ever have to say: "Sadly, we didn't have the opportunities back then."The Opportunity Kitchen is tapping into the community's accumulated intelligence for synergies: Ambitious youngsters keen to work for the planet and for society can count on support!
