  • What is a T4N Central Account? How do I set one up?
    Your T4N Central Account is an account which you can create for this website by clicking "log in" at the top and filling out the short form. Your T4N Central account will allow you to easily access many T4N projects. Some projects, such as the T4N Pinnacle Academy, will require you to create a separate account, although most will allow for log in (or will automatically log you in) with a T4N Central account. When filling out the T4N Central Account form, it is vital that you insert your profile link to another profile on a different T4N website if you have one, since this allows us to easily link up the accounts on both websites so you don't need to double-enter your information!
  • Why are there so many different projects of The4Network?
    The4Network operates a huge variety of projects which work on different goals. It may get unclear if everything had the same name, so different projects have different names which relate to their individual missions. However, each project is governed entirely by T4N, and all projects focus on delivering their help through the direct help method.
  • What is direct help? Why is it important?
    Direct help is the movement started by The4Network - a movement which we believe should and is going global. Direct help is the concept of enabling people worldwide to have a direct impact on the world - whether that is the lives of others or the preservation of our environment. The4Network enables people to become direct helpers - whether they have one hour per week or days and days on end - thereby taking away the middleman of donations and money and replacing it with people who are willing to help and want to impact the world positively.
